twisted does not start up. Interrupting it, gives
"exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name meteoFactory"

It seems to not find my modules:
from meteo import meteoFactory
I assumed twistd looks relative to the tac file.
Giving twistd a --rundir option does not help either.

twistd is a python program, which means it finds modules based on the same rules Python uses for finding modules.

There are numerous ways you could adjust sys.path; you can use virtualenv, or set PYTHONPATH, or just sys.path.append within the tac file itself.
