Trying to use help() under python interperter, and get error:

i believe this has to do with the fact that
sqlalchemy gets packaged as a "zipped" egg,
and hence a number of functions which assume
the "classic" filesystem directory layout
of module/packages no longer work. i've
encountered a similar issue with pdb.pm(),
where the backtrace isn't properly linked
to the source files - in fact, for me it
looks like the source still lives in the
build/bdist directory (at least as far as
the pdb.pm() backtrace is concerned).
i don't know how to resolve this - my guess
is that each tool which makes assumptions
about how packages are organized would have
to be individually and manually updated.
