Answer 1

site was a poor name to call your module as collides with Python's site module. You should rename it to something else that doesn't collide. You might also get this to work by prepending your path to sys.path:

import os, sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django-1.3')
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/p/pravicom/ksp/')

However, that's hackish at best, and may come to bite you in other ways down the road. The best answer is to rename your package.
