It's a bit hard to tell from your description - would be better if you had  
copied the exact error messages.
But the overall architecture looks wrong - a package is a *library*, and  
it is *used* by others.
Your main application should be a standalone script that uses (imports)  
the package.
Look at how other Python applications are structured.
