You could either add the HTML directory to your python path:

import sys
sys.path.append("c:\\Program files\\Python\\lib\\HTMLgen")

(make sure to use "\\" instead of "\"), or add empty files
called __init__.py to both the Lib and HTMLgen directory.
If these files are present, it's possible to import HTMLgen
with e.g.

from Lib.HTMLgen import HTMLgen
