Setting the search path in sys.path should work:

>>> import sys
#<package @ #x107484f2>
>>> sys.path.append("~")
None
>>> import bar
; Fast loading /Users/willem/bar.fasl
bar
#<module `bar' from file #P"/Users/willem/bar.py" @ #x10eede5a>
>>> import math
#<package @ #x10d46d82>

Yeah, there was a typo in py-import, which used (excl:package-children
:clpython.modules) while the correct package name was
:clpython.module. Sorry for that, please update CVS and try again.

Importing modules should now mostly work, but there is still an issue
with importing mutually dependent modules.
