If you import a frozen package (e.g. __phello__), __path__ is set to '__phello__'. But this should be a list as specified by both PEP 302 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0302/) and the original doc outlining the package mechanism (http://www.python.org/doc/essays/packages.html). Changing import to put the string in a list is all that is needed to correct this (although it might break some code relying on the fact that it has been a string in previous versions).
