Description

Using mod_python.publisher, you have two modules :

/index.py
/subdir/index.py

The problem is that due to the way published modules are imported, the resulting behaviour is unpredictable. Sometimes when calling /subdir/index.py the /index.py module is called, and vice versa.

This bug is very annoying because new mod_python users encounter it frequently, and I don't think it gives good press to mod_python.
