[Eric] using eric4 to debug django project

I created a simple, representative example that shows what is going wrong.
I created a project with directory structure as follows:
/test_workspace
> /packageOne
> __init__.py
> moduleOne.py
> /packageTwo
> __init__.py
>
moduleOne.py is a one-liner:
import packageTwo
>
I opened moduleOne and told it to run in test_workspace. It broke on the
import, and I interactively debugged it.
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 5 2007, 13:36:32)

So it worked after I added the empty path ('') to eric's pythonpath.
Please note that my path in my ordinary system python interpreter is as
follows:
['', '/usr/lib/python25.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.5',
> '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk',
> '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages',
> '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages',
> '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric',
> '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-
> 2.0']
>
Note that it contains the empty path. When I start the system python
interpreter in test_workspace, I am able to import packageTwo correctly.
Conclusions:
1. Eric uses a different pythonpath than the one on my system, and
excludes some paths from it. In this case, it is the empty path ('').
2. For some reason, the empty path is necessary to import packages
that are in the current working directory. I didn't know this, but I guess
that's how it works.
3. Because eric excludes the empty path, it is impossible for modules
created in packages created in the same directory to import one-another.
I'm not sure if I should file this should be filed as a bug-report, or if
this is simply a matter of configuring the pythonpath used by eric. However,
I wasn't able to find a way to configure eric's pythonpath.
I guess it's also possible that this is a regression in a recent snapshot
(I'm using eric4 4.1-snapshot20071224).
I'd greatly appreciate any guidance anyone could offer.
Much thanks.
