[Eric] Re: Question about imported modules and paths in Eric4

[Sjujsckij Nickolaj]

  Hello
I think you should learn about modules and their paths in Python. For  
example, I don't know what is module gto, probably it's your own one, and  
you rely on current dir importing it... So read about PYTHONPATH and  
inspect its value in your user shell, python and Eric shells (sys.path),  
and remember about importing from current directory.
