I think we can resolve the name conflict while avoiding the potential 
code breakage of renaming "PyDO" to "PyDO1". Instead we can take 
advantage of Python 2.3's ability to import from zip files and the fact 
that the contents of a zip file are case-sensitive regardless of the 
platform. Supplying PyDO 1 and PyDO 2 as zip files allows those on 
case-insensitive platforms such as Windows to have both installed 
without conflict, as demonstrated by my test below:

 >>> import pydo
Hello from pydo
 >>> import PyDO
Hello from PyDO
 >>>
