gui/__init__.py should import MyCustomWidget. Then

from gui import *

will inject the "MyCustomWidget" name into the namespace of the 
TestWidgets module along with all other names defined by gui/__init__.py 
- you can control this by putting the names as strings in the "__all__" 
variable in __init__.py.
