I sort of solved the problem, other than that, it sometimes requires  
to restart pd whenever I change something in py file. I was just  
trying to test my py codes before I send them to pyext in pd that the  
thing related to my question, but my main issue is of course to use  
py library to run my py codes with my pd patches.

thanks for the reply,
