I've found a work around, which is simply removing the plasma path hook and =

adding manually the directory to sys.path, but I think this is a really dir=
ty =

solution.

By what I see in pyrunner.py and plasma_importer.py I don't think there are =

other more elegant solutions. I don't really understand why they decided to =

use an import hook of this kind. It'd be enough to add the =

runner/contents/code directory to sys.path. If they wanted the code in that =

directory to have precedence over the rest of the path they could insert it=
 at =

the beginning instead of the end.

In the mean time I'm going to file a bug into kde's bug tracker.
