The PEP specifies the lib-old directory to hold the old case name so that the svn rename won't lead to two files in the same directory. I was hoping that creating the stub in lib-old would allow a simple svn rename for the original module on a case-sensitive file-system and the case-insensitive file-systems would just be able to deal with it. Is that just not going to work?

Oh, and I am really sorry, Alexandre, but the PixMapWrapper rename should have been taken out of the PEP as the entire Mac directory is going away, so the rename is kind of pointless since the module is going to be deleted. Well, I guess I really messed up on that one.

Eh, how were you to know? It's something I sometimes forget on my Mac since it is case-preserving but case-insensitive. Hopefully the lib-old trick will solve the problem as PixMapWrapper was the only one that is in any form of a package and that module is no longer an issue.

So, do you have any idea on how to revert the changes?

See if having you move Queue.py into lib-old fixes things. Otherwise the patch will need to be reverted. I am on GTalk right now so you can IM me as soon as you have tried if you want and I can see if it fixes the problem on OS X.
