Python 2.2 and PYTHONPATH

Hi

I recently installed Python 2.2 (Activestate) on a Windows box and 
noticed an odd behavior: If the PYTHONPATH variable contains a windows 
UNC path, it does not appear in sys.path. A local path is shown in 
sys.path, even if it is defined together with an UNC path.

I cross checked it on NT4 and Win2000: same behavior. Under Python 2.1 
the UNC path appears in sys.path on both systems.

Does anyone know something about that case?

Thanks in advance

Uwe
