Can't import installed package

I'm having a bit of trouble getting my setup.py file to work correctly. I'm able to run the install command and everything appears to be working. I see all the appropriate files being copied to various locations and there aren't any error messages but when I actually try to import the package from the python command line I get errors saying it doesn't exist.

Python install output Larger picture

Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong here?

Assuming that's all the files to compiled in the picture, here is why all you tries failed.

1) You do not have a file named passport.phaseI. Imports must be mapped to a file.

2) Assuming you mean to import the Passport class in the passport/phase/passport file, you need to call it like: from passport.phase.passport import Passport

3) See number 1. You do not have a file named passport, but you do have a dir.

I think the code from number two is going to help you the best.

Edit: One more note: remember your __init__.py files in each folder.

Hope this helps!

Make sure you cd out of the install directory, otherwise you'll get weird behaviour. Also, if you run

import sys
print sys.path

Make sure the module was installed to a location that is on your python path
