Unfortunately, I was wrong about this. I used to put my own common
code into a folder, stick an alias to that folder into Python's root
folder, and set the path via EditPythonPrefs accordingly. Now that
doesn't work. Replacing the alias with the folder of actual code does
work. Not a big deal, but mysterious.
A few other things have cropped up:
My Tk/networking code no longer works. The connection is made and my
code can still write data, but received data doesn't update the
appropriate widgets. I'm hoping this is something I'm overlooking,
rather than a bug.
FYI: Pmw still cannot be put into the Extensions folder, though it
can be put into Lib. I first saw this problem in 1.5.2c1. (I know
others have seen it. The symptom is that if you put Pmw into
Extensions and update the path info via EditPythonPrefs, Python
cannot find the module. Move the Pmw folder from Extensions to Lib
and update the path for that and everything works.)
