Summary: imp.find_module doesn't work in /tmp

Initial Comment:
I'm running OSX 10.2.6 and the imp module seems to 

have a parsing error when I pass it the directory "/"



bash$ cd /tmp

bash$ touch __init__.py

bash$ python

Python 2.3 (#2, Jul 30 2003, 11:45:28) 

[GCC 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 

information.

>>> import imp

>>> imp.find_module("tmp",['/'])

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

ImportError: No module named tmp

>>> imp.find_module("tmp",['//'])

(None, '//tmp', ('', '', 5))



I'm not sure why, but I seem to need a double slash in the 

directory name.
