what happens if you go to the directory where lj_connect.py is,
run python, and do the above (minus blah blah ..) interactively?

if the import succeeds, try dir(lj_connect) to see whether the
spelling of the class name might have gotten glitched, or whatever.

Looks like it ought to work. Did you accidentally include class lj_connect
in a """comment""" ? The dir(lj_connect) will tell.
