BTW, on Gordon's site, in the iu documentation, he mentions
that "the assumption that sys.path is occupied solely by
strings seems ineradicable". I don't know if he's got any
specific issues in mind, but it might be worth checking out
(get the screams of protest out of the way before the code
goes in :-))

I've copied Gordon in case he can give any specifics...

Paul.
