Assuming your setting the target directory to the overwatch folder, and you are
starting the interactive session in your home directory, this is what is
happening. The folder containing your package must be in the python path, not
the folder itself. Try "PYTHONPATH=/home/directory python test.py". The reason
it works in the interactive session, assuming you are starting it from your
home directory, is that the current directory of the session is placed at the
front of the import path; the value of PYTHONPATH is merely added after the
current directory, and before the standard directories.
If this isn't the case, what are you using for TARGET_DIR?

Subject: ImportError raised in script, not interactive session.
I'm writing a set of modules to monitor remote system services, and I'm
having a problem running my test scripts. When I pass the scripts into
python, like so:
--
$ PYTHONPATH="${TARGET_DIR}" python test.py
--
I get an ImportError:
--
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 6, in ?
from overwatch.view import console
ImportError: No module named view
--
However, when I load up an interactive Python session:
--
$ PYTHONPATH="${TARGET_DIR}" python
--
I can do the exact same import statement with no problem:

[GCC 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from overwatch.view import console
>>> dir(console)
['Daemon', 'UI', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__',
'datetime']

My package directory is arranged under ${TARGET_DIR} as prescribed in
the Python docs:
overwatch/
..__init__.py
..[etc.]
..view/
....__init__.py
....console.py
....[etc.]
All modules involved are my own, and I'm setting PYTHONPATH so I can
test with the package installed in my home directory (which I use
distutils to do). I've checked online, and double-checked the Python
docs to make sure my modules are arranged properly, and it all looks
alright. Any ideas?
