Case mismatch error? (was: problem when installing under WinNT)

Berthold Hoellmann <hoel@germanlloyd.org>:
I've written a package called qpPy, which I would like to install under WinNT. But when I import the successfull installed I get:
... NameError: Case mismatch for module name qpPy.py ...
Is there any idea how to solve this (besides renaming the file by hand)?
Are you sure this is a Distutils problem? If you copy qpPy.py manually, do you still get the case mismatch? What *is* the case of the installed filename, and how are you trying to import it? It would help to show some state-of-the-filesystem snapshots before and after Distutils installs the file, and explain why exactly there's a case mismatch (remember, not all of us use Python on Windows, so not everyone is necessarily familiar with this case-mismatch problem -- I certainly am not, so I can only guess about what's going on here).
