Sugar would not start when a file new.py was present

[quozl]

When a user had a file new.py in home directory containing an import that could not be satisfied, Sugar would not start. This was because Xapian was imported by Sugar, and Xapian had a "from new import something".

• check the Python module search path for Sugar; should it really search the home directory for modules?

Tested, I couldn't reproduce the error. The paths did not include the home directory, maybe, the Xapian package got updated to fix the error.

I was able to reproduce. The Python path included the current working directory, which when Sugar starts is the home directory. If you think Xapian was changed, please find the change in Xapian.
