Any code in the MyContext directory should be presentation layer.
If you want your own libraries you create a python package (directory 
just like Java) and put it in your newly created workspace or your 
python path.  This is analogous to Java classpath.

I put general use code in the my overall python path (like database 
drivers), website specific stuff in a Modules directory alongside 
MyContext, and presenatation pags in MyContext

../Apps/Portal/
.............../Configs
.............../Logs
.............../Mods
....................UserManager.py
....................SiteConfiguration.py
....................FavitesManager.py
.............../MyContext
.....................Welcom.py
.....................Login.py
.....................Hello.psp

Then in Login I have something like
from Mods.UserManager import UserManager

and in UserManager I have
import PyPgSQL  #database driver - in pytyhon classpath
