I'm pretty sure that searching for the traceback module is not the error
you are actually running into.  The issue is that if you are in a python
file and do "import foo" it has a whole search path for where "foo"
might be. It may be in the same directory as the current file, it may be
in a system directory, it may be in the directory where the application
started, etc.

Can you give more information about what your original failure is?
(Without the debug mode.)
