[Tutor] import'ing problems (path)

[Kent Johnson]

It looks like WebKit doesn't want to see the Webware level in the package 
hierarchy. You could take everything out of the Webware directory and put 
it directly in site-packages or add the Webware directory to sys.path as I 
described before. Then try import WebKit.Page (without the WebWare prefix).

You might have better luck with this on the Webware mailing list.
