Why doesn't import work?

ssecorp was kind enough to say:

>>>> import pdfminer

If you've got a directory, that's not a module - it's a package.

In order to import a directory as a package, you must create a (possibly
empty) __init__.py file in that dir.

then you can do something like

from pdfminer import pythonfile1

or you can follow Sean's advice and export the __all__ name in order to
directly access any module you like.
