Somewhat related. It's unfortunate that the package IPython.Extensions
is itself on the path, which leads to strange things like:

In [1]: from IPython.Extensions import path as p1
In [2]: import path as p2
In [3]: p1
Out[3]: <module 'IPython.Extensions.path' from
'/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ipython-0.7.2-py2.4.egg/IPython/Extensions/path.pyc'>
In [4]: p2
Out[4]: <module 'path' from
'/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ipython-0.7.2-py2.4.egg/IPython/Extensions/path.pyc'>
In [5]: p1 is p2
Out[5]: False
In [6]: p1.path is p2.path
Out[6]: False
In [7]:
