    Bill> All of the python distributions that I have tried (Apple's 2.2,
    Bill> 2.3a2) report ':' as the value of os.pathsep on Mac OS X. Should
    Bill> this not be '/' ?

You're thinking of os.sep, which is '/' on Mac OS X.  os.pathsep is the
character used to separate components of strings like the PATH environment
variable.
