Are both Examples and PP2E packages? In python if a folder is meant to
represent a package it should iclude the above mentioned file
__init__.py and by saying the above your suggesting that PP2E is a
package inside the package Examples.

If the above is correct, you should append the pythonpath with
c:\Python24\ and refer to the wanted .py with Examples.PP2E.launchmodes.
As such the import statement obviously should be "from
Examples.PP2E.launchmodes import PortableLauncher". If the above isn't
the case and there is still something unclear about this, reply with a
more detailed post about the situation.
