Usually these kinds of errors are down to either path names being wrong
or permissions not being set.

I have no idea how that works, but it may not be working the same way
your app works. So it may not prove anything. Can you retrieve the
"missing" resource using an http request? Perhaps using the urllib module?

I assume it contains helper functions used by the other file.
But you can open it and read the code to see what it does.
