I think a script like this would work for me:

PYTHONPATH=/home/david/cvs/gnumed/gnumed
/home/david/cvs/gnumed/gnumed/client/wxwindows/gnumed.py

would work for me.  All it's doing is compensating for the fact that it 
isn't installed in site-package.

The only annoying thing is that "client" is the base package name.  I'd 
rather have the name gnumed-client.  Or I can make the "gnumed" 
directory a package.  But then we'd always have to be importing 
gnumed.client.business.<modulename> or something like that.  Actually I 
kind of like that.  And there are some python modules outside of client, 
which maybe are useful as well.... I makes sense to have the base 
package called gnumed too doesn't it?  I'll make the fixes tonight.   
The script would change to:

PYTHONPATH=/home/david/cvs/gnumed
/home/david/cvs/gnumed/gnumed/client/wxwindows/gnumed.py

All imports would start from gnumed.something.something, instead of 
client.something.something.....
