Allow me to hijack this thread for a related question. How do you usually import a module from a module. I've tried using local_import but I had problems (don't remember details) so I solved the problem by hardcoding the path like 'applications.<appname>/modules/...' but don't like it. Can local_import do this and I used it incorrectly?
Thanks a lot in advance.
