Thanks a lot for your effort, those suggestions pointed me to the solution, even if my mistake was actually a bit different. The name of the module (abbreviated "Simple Test Module" => smt), which was just chosen for a minimal reproducible version, was not the culprit: I unfortunately tested in the directory where I previously built/ installed the module. Result: python picked up my local "smt" directory (see tree output in first post) instead of that from the installed module :-(. Hence, even a more unique module name would not have saved me. Anyway, problem finally solved and learned a bit more about the pitfalls of python, thanks again to your help, your efforts are greatly appreciated, Hartwig -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
