the rules for importing modules in packages is going to change over
the next few releases... read up on those changes starting from here:

http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/pep-328.html

the simplest solution, as alan's described, is to put all directories
that have your Python modules in the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
if you are on a Unix-based system, just set this variable in your
shell.  if you are on Win32, right-mouse My Computer -> System
Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Edit (User or
System variables) -> Ok.

cheers,
