Modules can not have a dot in their name.  To make foo.bar.baz
importable you need a foo directory with a baz subdirectory that
contains a file named baz.py.  See
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html#packages for all the
details.

Also, despite the name of this list, a more appropriate place to ask
this kind of question would be the python-list or tutor list:
