title: Custom modules not read by Python, generating ImportError
body: <p>I am trying to run a python pipeline through Mac OS Terminal. I am using Python 2.7.15 because newer versions of Python gave me error messages with this file. I keep getting the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python ../../../scripts/gemmaPipeline.py ../../../data/all.fixGL.Q10.ap.bi.MAF5.vcf.gz outfile Results
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Traceback (most recent call last):   File<br>
    "../../../scripts/gemmaPipeline.py", line 5, in <br>
        <code>import utils, vcf, genomes100, gemma ImportError</code>: No module named <code>genomes100</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The modules listed in the import command are present under the "scripts" folder in a subfolder "modules". For each of the four modules, I have a .py and .pyc file in this subfolder. I cannot get Python to find this path. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried running the same script within a virtualenv but to no avail. I even tried moving the "modules" subfolder to the Python "site-packages" folder in hopes that it would work but failed.</p>
  
  <p>Finally, I tried including an <strong>init</strong>.py file (blank) in the "script" folder, but that didn't work either.</p>
  
  <p>I am an utter novice and am pretty much learning as I go.Please help.</p>
