Hello Michael,
not a stupid question, I think that may be it. I tried setting
PYTHONPATH like Sam suggested and it worked, but I was unable to do it
programmically. I tried putting it in the __init__.py file like a web
post suggested but it wasn't run until after I set PYTHONPATH, and once
that was done there is no need (that I can see anyways) to set it in
__init__.py.
Thanks for your help,
Gabriel
