Ok well here's mine:

I have

/Documents and Settings/usr/Desktop/working/imptest/

in locals.pth.  These directories:

 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Desktop\working\imptest

09/16/2008  04:29 PM    <DIR>          impt

 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Desktop\working\imptest
\impt

09/16/2008  04:29 PM    <DIR>          abc
09/16/2008  04:29 PM    <DIR>          defg
09/16/2008  03:40 PM                 0 __init__.py
               1 File(s)              0 bytes

 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Desktop\working\imptest
\impt\abc

09/16/2008  03:40 PM                13 abcmod.py
09/16/2008  03:40 PM                 0 __init__.py

 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Desktop\working\imptest
\impt\defg

09/16/2008  03:40 PM                13 defmod.py
09/16/2008  03:40 PM                 0 __init__.py

and this code:

>>> import impt
>>> import impt.abc
>>> import impt.abc.abcmod
>>> import impt.defg
>>> import impt.defg.defmod

I understand the import behavior will change in 3.0.
