Well that depends on what you mean with "have".  This is what
turned up when I searched for "misc.py"

$ find /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /local/home/apardon -name misc.py -print 
2> /dev/null
/usr/lib/python2.6/compiler/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/PyQt4/uic/Compiler/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/numpy/oldnumeric/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/docutils/transforms/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/docutils/parsers/rst/directives/misc.py
/local/home/apardon/src/projecten/pylib/misc.py

That last one is my file, the rest doesn't seem to be in sys.path so 
they shouldn't interfere
as far as I understand. Changing the name of my file to miscutil.py 
resolves the problem though.

I'll see if I can figure out more.
