Ummm so does that mean I have to add something to the pythonpath for a web application that I am building in a particular directory ?

Unfortunately, I don't know -- I'm not a Twisted Web expert. :( Someone else will have to answer this one. -Andrew.

I think I know what Mr. Dfjsd is getting at; I hit this same problem. If you're building an app in c:\webapp, and you run twistd from that directory, then 'c:\webapp' should be part of sys.path. The reason for this is that '.' is part of sys.path, and if you're running twistd in c:\webapp, then '.' == 'c:\webapp'. So, if: c:\webapp\docroot contains your HTML files and RPY files c:\webapp\my_app contains any Python code you need to import ...and you run: c:\webapp> mktap web --path docroot c:\webapp> twistd -f web.tap ...if you have a .rpy in c:\webapp\docroot, it can call 'import my_app' and it should work fine. (Provided c:\webapp\my_app\__init__.py exists.) Does that answer your question?
