Python 2.7 normally inputs directory-modules fine on Windows 7. The notable exception however is symbolically-linked directories on the filesystem, which are ignored (not thought to exist) by the Python `import` statement. (Note that the Python interpreter normally has no problem with symlinks on Win7 with its file I/O features.)
