title: Python on Mac OSX 10.7.5 Reportlab, import error for submodule
body: <p>Mac OS X 10.7.5
  Python 2.7
  Reportlab 2.6</p>
  
  <p>I'm getting good ol' import error when trying to call on a submodule in reportlab:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; Traceback (most recent call last):   File "reportlab.py", line 1, in
  &gt; &lt;module&gt;
  &gt;     import reportlab   File "/Users/maggielee/Documents/pythons/reportlab.py", line 2, in &lt;module&gt;
  &gt;     from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing, String ImportError: No module named graphics.shapes
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>:(   I'm pretty sure reportlab.graphics is in there.
  As a noob I cant embed an image, but here it is, in ... site-packages, same as beautifulsoup et al:</p>

  <p>yea, ok, I dont know what that means, so let's try: 
      python setup.py tests</p>
  
  <p>then it churns thru some tests, details some errors and tells me (failures=1 errors=6)</p>
  
  <p>So, let us try
       easy_install reportlab</p>
  
  <p>result: </p>
