Are you by any chance doing:

import mymod.py

???

If so change it to:

import mymod

Python adds the .py automagically.

Otherwise the likely explanation is a path issue and you 
may need to modify sys.path or set the PYTHONPATH environment 
variable. But my guess is the wrong import name as above...
