Python module not found (directory problems)

I have a Python 2.5 project with following directory structure:

database/__init__.py
database/createDBConnection.py
gui/mainwindow.py

When I try to run

python gui/mainwindow.py

I get the error

C:\PopGen>python gui/mainwindow.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gui/mainwindow.py", line 12, in <module>
    from database.createDBConnection import createDBC
ImportError: No module named database.createDBConnection

In mainwindow.py, there is following statement on line 12

from database.createDBConnection import createDBC

The problem occurs because Python can't find the database module.

Question: What can I do in order to fix this error?

Here's the code of the project: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/edfutlba960atp9/MwFpaepEpl

I tried to use

C:\PopGen>python -m gui.mainwindow

but got these errors

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python25\lib\runpy.py", line 95, in run_module
    filename, loader, alter_sys)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\runpy.py", line 52, in _run_module_code
    mod_name, mod_fname, mod_loader)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\runpy.py", line 32, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "C:\PopGen\gui\mainwindow.py", line 13, in <module>
    from file_menu.wizard_window_validate import Wizard
ImportError: No module named file_menu.wizard_window_validate

There are several ways to fix this, but this is perhaps the easiest one.

Try adding this in mainwindow.py, prior to the import that is failing:

import sys
sys.path.append("C:/path/to/database/module")
