Python returns 'module has no attribute' when using python path to reference module, works when storing in 'python3.7libs'

[Latimerias]

I started off creating shelf tools, worked fine then I wanted to read modules on disk so i used the PYTHONPATH variable which worked great. However the second I go to run functions from my module I get the error 'module has no attribute' as shown below. 

import mymodule

mymodule.my_function()

it returns the error: module 'mymodule 'has no attribute 'myfunction'.

My workaround right now is just symlinking my .py file into the /python3.7libs directory which reads fine for the moment.
