Answer 1

I see '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages' in your path prior to '/home/me/dev/project/src', does that matter? What happens when you switch the two?

From the docs:

When PYTHONPATH is not set, or when the file is not found there, the search continues in an installation-dependent default path

So perhaps you didn't find your working copy on your PYTHONPATH as you had thought?
