Having a common format for import search paths helps cross-platform use/setups -- Mac users may want to have a look at tweaking this code to also recognise ':' too.
Horrors! ':' is the directory separator on older Macs, like '/' on unixen. That simply won't work...
ok, i see - no, that would be too upsetting.
But maybe we could adopt a scheme were path strings that can be recognized as being in unix format will be interpreted correctly on all platforms?
Or maybe we should just leave the old Mac code as it is -- the new MacOS X is after all using the using the unix style as it is. My guess is that more and more Mac users are switching over. What were the dowload numbers for the Mac when split up between the two offered packages?
Unless someone requests it(or submits a patch), let's just leave it as it is, I'd say. Mac download numbers: MacOS X (version 1) : 50 MacOS X (version 2): 27 MacOS 9: 44 --sigbjorn btw, is the CPP symbol 'macintosh' not defined under OS X?
