Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python2.4
According to documentation python should search for module file in current directory before going to standard modules. And that's what it was before. Now check this: $ echo 'print "*My module imported"' > select.py $ python -c "import select; print select.__file__" /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/select.so when I would expect $ python -c "import select; print select.__file__" *My module imported select.py It brakes my script which was working before Christmas. python2.4 2.4.4-1ubuntu2 ** Affects: python2.4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- import searches standard modules before current dir https://launchpad.net/bugs/77830 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
