You can easily check what's in your sys.path by having your external method 
return it.

Typically, the Extensions directory (where your external methods live) are 
not in the default path and need to be added to sys.path.(warning: be 
careful on how you do this or everytime your external method gets called it 
will add to the sys.path and will eventually cause you grief!).
