	Welcome...

	... but why is a "complete beginner" trying to work with such an
advanced third-party library before first learning the core language and
libraries.

>looks fine (to me). I also appended the sys.path with "C:/Python27/neurolab-0.2.3/neurolab" and I still get that error. What am I missing?

	A compliant third-party library commonly /would/ have installed its
importable parts in "c:\python<vn>\Lib\site-packages\<package>" -- or where
ever Python was installed: C:\Python_x64\Python27\Lib\site-packages\MySQLdb
for example on my system for the MySQLdb package.

	It wouldn't need modification of the search path.
