Thanks for replying :)

The app is fairly big and distributed around the gg1.4 directory. I get the 
feeling that 'from logger import log' is the first of a lot of import 
problems, this script alone imports from another 7 modules

from urllib import urlopen
from time import strftime
from cPickle import dump
from datetime import datetime, time, timedelta
from os import remove

from logger import log
from html_strip import html_strip
from garbage_collect import garbage_collect
from valid_day import valid_day
from exact_sleep import sleep_delay,sleep_until
from cookie_string import cookie_string
from data_core import Data_Core

from config import data_dir,HTML_addr, ipc_dir

As far a putting everything into a package - I am a bit lost. Do you mean one 
big .py script or am I misunderstanding you ?
