In Import.py sys.path has the following value:
['/data/technology/Products/validation/validators/..', 
'/data/technology/lib/python', 
'/usr/local/zope272/lib/python/Zope/Startup', 
'/usr/local/zope272/lib/python', '/usr/local/lib/python23.zip', 
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2', 
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-tk', 
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload', 
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages']

(/data/technology in $INSTANCE_HOME). I would have expected 
/data/technology in sys.path.
