I decided to just bite the bullet and reorganize the program I'm writing to make some reporting easier at work. Python project organization is a pain.

I think I have it figured out, and some of the problems I had with importing my modules last night might have been operating system specific. I'm doing the development in OSX since I don't want to boot into my Linux VM every time I want to bang out an idea.
I'm using Excel for 90% of the reporting right now due to time constraints. I'd LOVE to do it 100% in Python so that I can do much more elaborate and flexible reporting. The last 10% is yanking out some numbers based off how long a case takes to close so that I can make a histogram. I spent way too long trying to get Excel to do that and failed. It's going to be much easier using Python, but I'm making it harder than it needs to be so that I can set up a solid library of functions I want to use in the future.
