Well I think I've made the trick: the option pythonpath accepts one parameter: PATH_TO_MY_PROJECT but without the project name itself. So if your projects name is my_project, my_project should not appear inside PATH_TO_MY_PROJECT . Sorry for the unnecessary posting, hope it'll be useful for somebody.
