I actually think this may be related to the following issue: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=772
Which is related to resetting of the sys.path variable (see Guido's explanation in the issue). Mostly, I don't think there is any reason to modify the sys.path in your case. You should just eliminate the 'external' directory and include the modules directly under the application's root folder, and import the modules as normal in Python. -Marzia On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 10:23 AM, Rodrigo Moraes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 3:27 PM, Marzia Niccolai wrote: > > Hi Rodrigo, > > > > Is this a standard Python module or your own code?
