Miki,
The problem is with following:
>>> sys.path.append('/onedir/foo')
(where /onedir/foo/utils.py exists)
>>> sys.path.append('/anotherdir/project_a/')
(where /aotherdir/project_a/foo/bar.py exists)

>>> import foo.utils
>>> import foo.projectA.bar
ImportError: No module named projectA.bar

If I put the project_a path first, it loads its modules but can't
import the /onedir/foo modules. It seems package can only be in one
place, once Python finds it, it just stops looking elsewhere.

Thanks,
Eugene Pervago
