Consider this code in WebKit:

try:
     import MiscUtils
except ImportError:
     sys.path.append('..')
     import MiscUtils

Now the path containing all the various Webware components (MiscUtils, 
WebUtils, etc.) is in the Python path. This is merely a runtime fix at 
start up WebKit finds that it's not in the python path already.

This does not change any other code:

from WebUtils.WebFuncs import *
