What error message do you get?

The first step is to confirm that your path is setup correctly. At the 
very top of blablabla_test, put this code:

import os, sys
print(os.getenv('PYTHONPATH'))
print(sys.path)


What do they say? What should they say?


The second step is to confirm that you can import the blablabla.py 
module. From the command line, cd into the code directory and start up a 
Python interactive session, then run "import blablabla" and see what it 
does.
