Symlinks don't work in python???

[Steve Ward]

I just upgraded to cygwin 1.5.14 from 1.5.12, and python
(version 2.4 in both cases) stopped being able to import
thru symlinks.

Test case: in a directory containing a symlink to foo.py,

   python
   import foo

complains "no module named foo.py"; if I copy the file to .,
it imports fine.  Both worked in previous releases of cygwin.

Similarly, putting symlinks in site-packages no longer works.

Has some change to cygwin's handling of symlinks (since 1.5.12)
caused this problem?

Thanks for any light shed...
