My intent was that now I can refer to awesome.util.helper regardless of where I am (outside the package, within different directories, etc). My guess is that doing things like importing 'helper' directly and referring to it as 'helper' (no awesome.util prefix) is the python way of doing things, just didn't ring true with my background.

Give "from . import helper" a try; you may find that it works just as
well as "import helper" does, but more explicitly saying that you want
it from the current package. Other than that, I think you have
something that'll work fine.
