Re: Possible python 3 issue?

Thanks a lot, Bill. That fixes it for me as well. Both in the test case 
and in my larger software project.

I found the code example for finding the module path online when I 
decided to switch to variantdir. I don't remember if the example used 
duplicate=0 or not, so I don't know if the map was necessary in that 
case.

Obviously, I have not done enough python 3 programming to know that 
there was such a subtle difference in the behavior of map.

Cheers,

   Peter
