Currently your script assumes it is called from the
directory it lives in, not from anywhere in the system
(users cannot be expected to cd to /usr/bin/ to run your
programs).

It also assumes that it can import its modules from the
current directory which will not be the case (not even IF a
user CDs to /usr/bin/ because modules will live somewhere
under /usr/share/python/site-packages/ or so.)
