module case bug in 1.6a2 Win9x

[Robin Becker]

I believe there's a module case bug with long named modules under win98
at least. I believe the bug relates to the length of the filename
somehow.

This is with win98 version 2 + 1.6a2

>>> from pWD import PWD
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: Case mismatch for module name pWD

>>> from printWindowDialog import PWD
>>> PWD()
PWD initialized printWindowDialog.py

the two files PWD.py and PrintWindowDialog are identical and look like

class PWD:
        def __init__(self):
                print 'PWD initialized', __file__
