Thanks for the -vv flag tip - it helped some.

Sadly (for me, at least), the problem turned out to be user error - I was
using BASH syntax for the path while within Python, and needless to say,
that didn't do the trick.

Once I changed the imports to use '.' as the delimiter, things worked
fine.

Thanks for your assistance!
