If they're just "import modulename", then FooClass won't be defined unless it's been injected into the builtins or something. Are they "from mycmp1 import *"? Normally, you should be able to just look at FooClass.__module__ to see where it's been created. But if your module layout is messy, that might not be sufficient information.
