[py-dev] newbie crash, no attribute 'getimportname', rev 29094

[George Young]

[python 2.4.1, py "Checked out revision 29094"]
{first time user of py.test}

I just fetched revision 29094.  I did [as root] 
  python  ./setup.py build
  python  ./setup.py install
All seemed well.

Then cat >foo.py
def test_h():
     h = 0
     assert h == 1

and 
  py.test foo.py

I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    modname = pkg.__package__.getimportname(self) 
AttributeError: 'Package' object has no attribute 'getimportname'

What am I doing wrong?
I tried explicitly putting the checkout directory in my PYTHONPATH; same result.
I see that getimportname is defined in py/initpkg.py, but
it's not clear to me when/how it's supposed to get run.
