Yea, that's what I figured out. I had two version of Python on my machine.
The import method was broken because the alias in the preference folder
pointed to the "wrong" Python folder. Once I updated the Python Alias in the
preference folder, everything worked as expected.

Thanks for the reply,

Stephen

Actually, the paths were correct in both cases, but maybe not what you 
expected:-).

If you run a script then the scripts' directory is in sys.path. If you 
don't run a script but an interactive interpreter then Python's home 
directory is in sys.path.
