If Pegasus is the package you want to import you should make sure that  
the directory *above that* is in sys.path. Moreover, the PYTHONPATH  
variable must end up in the environment too. Something like
>> setenv PYTHONPATH  
>> /Users/aldo/Documents/Work/Amministrazione/Budgeting/Budget_proj
or
>> PYTHONPATH=/Users/aldo/Documents/Work/Amministrazione/Budgeting/ 
>> Budget_proj
>> export PYTHONPATH

depending on whether you use bash or tcsh.
