assume that you have a directory called 'mysite'. In this directory you
will have to have an empty file called __init__.py. Then any file in
that directory with a 'py' extension can be imported leaving out the
extension. For example, foo.py can be imported as mysite.foo instead of
mysite/foo. For this to work, 'mysite' should be on the python path.
