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.)
