Ok, so it found the module in the directory you expected, but it came
from the .pyc, not .py file.  (.pyc's are simply bytecode versions of
.py files)  Also, the module doesn't contain anything except for it's
name and docstring.  You could try printing the docstring to see what
(if anything) it says.  

I would recommend deleting the .pyc file so that the interpreter has
to parse and re-bytecompile the .py file again.  Perhaps you somehow
ended up with an outdated or lacking .pyc file?

HTH,

PS.  the previous message from "spi" was really a 'bounce' from my (see mutt's
     docs for a definition of the (overloaded) term) personal box.  I
     hadn't noticed (in my hasty reading) the long code included,
     sorry for sending all such a long message
