how to reference my own module ?

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

I've a library that I import as
 
    import ppygui.api as gui

the reason for this construct is that I've to use different libraries 
for different platforms.

Now I like to write some examples in the library (activated by if 
__name__ == '__main__' :)
and I would that these examples can be used in the user program just by 
copy / paste.

For calling a function / class in the user program I've to write:

    sizer = gui.VBox ()

So also write exactly the same sentence in the library examples,
but  "gui" is not recognized

Any ideas how I can realize the above ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki
