Thanks a lot for your effort, those suggestions pointed me to the
solution, even if my mistake was actually a bit different. The name of
the module (abbreviated "Simple Test Module" => smt), which was just
chosen for a minimal reproducible version, was not the culprit: I
unfortunately tested in the directory where I previously built/
installed the module. Result: python picked up my local "smt"
directory (see tree output in first post) instead of that from the
installed module :-(. Hence, even a more unique module name would not
have saved me.

Anyway, problem finally solved and learned a bit more about the
pitfalls of python, thanks again to your help, your efforts are
greatly appreciated,
