Error importing middleware cms.middleware.page: "No module named middleware.page"

Question

Im unable to import a module even though my path appears correct.

>>> import cms.middleware.page
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named middleware.page

Heres shows my path is ok

>>> for x in sys.path:
...     if x == "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages":
...         print x
...
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Heres the module

[root@monty codecrab]# ls -l /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms/middleware/page.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1304 Apr 17 19:49 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms/middleware/page.py

Here are the files

[root@monty cms]# pwd
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms
[root@monty cms]# ls -l __init__.py middleware/__init__.py middleware/page.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   47 Apr 17 19:49 __init__.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Apr 17 19:49 middleware/__init__.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1304 Apr 17 19:49 middleware/page.py

This is likely due to an incorrect installation of your package.

To be able to do import cms.middleware.page, the cms directory must be on your Python path, with both cms and middleware directories containing an __init__.py file so that they are treated as a Python package.

The following files/directories must exist:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms/__init__.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms/middleware
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms/middleware/__init__.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms/middleware/page.py

@felix001 For reference, if all of the files were in place, what was causing the problem with the failed import?

I had created a app called cms as well by confusion, which I think may of been polluting the namespace.
