Summary: Import fails in Idle

Initial Comment:
The import command works in the command line
interpreter, but fails in Idle:

>>> os.listdir('.')
['Debug', 'example.cxx', 'example.dsp', 'example.h',
'example.i', 'example.ncb', 'example.py',
'example.pyc', 'example.sln', 'example.suo',
'example.vcproj', 'example_wrap.cxx', 'foo',
'index.html', 'Makefile', 'runme.py', '_example.dll',
'_example.ilk']
>>> import _example
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#16>", line 1, in ?
    import _example
ImportError: No module named _example
>>> 

     I have gotten it to work _once_ in Idle, but was
never able to repeat it.

     I am running Python 2.2.1 under Win2K (5.00.2195 SP3).

     I should have noted that 'import' _does_ work to a
degree - 'import os' worked.

     The '_example.dll' that I am trying to import is the
'shapes' example that is distributed with SWIG 1.3.15, and
should import without any trouble.  It does import just fine
from the command line version of Python, but not from Idle.
