Hi!
I can't try this out at the moment as I don't have access to the code.
But I just thought I'd add the fact that forms.py is never compiled
(no trace of a forms.pyc). Should the __import__ function force the
compilation of a module when it's imported, or does it require that
module to be compiled prior (and if so, how can you force that
compilation)?
