I probably should use the correct terminology - package, not module, a module being just a python file with statements in it, and a package being a way of structuring them in a file hierarchy to give you namespaces of a sort (Justin, feel free to correct me since I'm being very handwavey here). In short, it lets you use a dot notation to import packages that are split up down a filesystem tree, amongst other things.
https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html#packages By way of example, on my filesystem here, i've just created the following tree: d:\devzone\scratchpad\working\foo d:\devzone\scratchpad\working\foo\bar.py d:\devzone\scratchpad\working.\foo\__init__.py d:\devzone\scratchpad\working\foo\bacon d:\devzone\scratchpad\working\foo\bacon\__init__.py d:\devzone\scratchpad\working\food\bacon\sandwich.py and then the following should work: import sys sys.path.append(r'd:\devzone\scratchpad\working') # append the root of my package structure import foo import foo.bar import foo.bacon import foo.bacon.sandwich For your problem, assuming that the root path of NSUV is visible Johan Bogström earlier suggested checking that you've an __init__.py and it's not missing - this is just the same check in a fashion, but even more brutal. Also, as a side check - is everything cased correctly? I recall tearing my hair out once until i noticed i had two copies of a file, one with an uppercase first letter..
