Sorry, yes, I forgot to mention I've checked it's not just a permissions problem
by putting the module in /tmp, readable by everyone, and appending "/tmp" to
sys.path in the function in the database. Still complains that the module can't
be found though :(

(If I fire up python as user postgres, I can import the module from /tmp.)
