1) Read and understand
http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008110000000000000000
2) insert something that prints sys.path at the beginning of your script
and run the script command-line-style.
3) print sys.path in an interactive session
4) note the difference in output from steps 2 and 3

This should explain why you're getting different behavior between
running your script from the command line and running it line-by-line in
a python interpreter session. It should also give you a hint as to how
to solve your problem.
