"module pointer files" for import (now and py2.5) ?

I want to occasionally do a "redirected " import of a python module which
is located offside of the legacy sys.path (Windows) - for example a tool
is maintained within "cgi-bin" web stuff (while I do not want to add
that whole folder's stuff to the sys.path)

..pth adds only directories to the python path.

is there a convenient/short method to create a python "module pointer"
(file) to such module - maybe just create such pointer file somewhere on
the python path (in my "sitetools" ) ?

If no clean method, what is the best ad-hoc trick?

( In addition to what mere UNIX links would do, it should be consistent
pythonic: such module can import neighbor modules (relatively), create
the .pyc's next to the code... )

Is such stuff more easy and consistent with py2.5's relative imports?
Are such module pointers maybe supported somehow in py2.5?

I was playing around with the inspect module the other day trying to write a quick and dirty "smart" logger. By this I mean that writing a message to the global log would also yield some info about the calling scope. If you look at my function "test" below, I'd ideally like log messages: foo.py:test, "message 1" foo.py:Foo.__init__, "message 2" foo.py:Foo.bar, "message 3"

What we did is to compile Python's source code (which is got from the an installation on a Linux environment for Python 2.3.3) and our extensions (C++ code) on Windows with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler to generate the extended Python interpreter. It works well on Linux and for the basic Python modules and our special modules on Windows. But...

Hello, I am trying to create exectuables on inux using "pyinstaller". I am using pyinstaller-1.3, RHEL 4.4, Python 2.5. The executables fail to run. The problem returned is pertaining to "struct.py" not being able to find the module "_struct". struct.py is located under /usr/local/lib/python-2.5/, and there is a _struct.o (no _struct.py anywhere) located under /usr/local/lib/ python-2.5/lib-dynload.
