Jérôme,

I doubt that there is a capital letter issue here... it sounds more
like there is a "test" vs "Test" being found in the Python path. In
general, using "test" as a filename for importing is not a good idea
in Python because that might collide with some other global namespace
"test".

But I could be wrong. There are other changes that could be the cause.
Is this in trunk? Trunk has code that allows multiple versions of a
plugin, and changes the manner in which plugins are loaded by not just
appending onto the Python path.

If it isn't a test name issue, then can you send more details about
the issue (trunk, gpr, example)? Thanks!
