One more thing to check: have you named your module with an identical 
name to an existing module that is before your module the path, e.g. 
calling your module "xml" or "email", which clash with standard 
library modules. This is a frequent cause of hair-pulling inexplicable 
behaviour.

If that isn't the problem either, then you're probably best off 
posting more details, i.e. what are your modules called, where are 
they located, what doesn't work/what exceptions are raised, etc.
