Experienced python wrangler needed

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stan,

I'm hoping someone with more python experience can take
a look at this and easily say "ah, this is whats wrong"
... I have a test program qa/src/check_import.py which
seems to run fine, produces no errors, invokes all the
appropriate API entry points AFAICT, but doesn't end up
producing any output:

$ python qa/src/check_import.py /tmp/pip
$ ls /tmp/pip*
ls: cannot access /tmp/pip*: No such file or directory

Some print statements throughout suggest the expected
code paths are being taken, but something is amiss in
the link-up with the C library (ltrace suggests calls
are not actually being made).

Any ideas / suggestions?

thanks!
