I'm not sure, but it sounds as though you have yet to discover Python
module packages <URL:http://www.python.org/doc/essays/packages.html>.
They allow a hierarchy of modules in directories.

The Python tutorial <URL:http://www.python.org/doc/tut/> will make
this and many more fundamental concepts of Python clearer by working
through it. Read each section, run every example, and experiment with
it until you understand it. Then move on to the next section. Repeat
until done.
