title: Using Storm: ImportError: No module named local
body: <p>As stated in the Storm documentation, I am doing the following to import the necessary symbols for using Storm:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from storm.locals import *
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using it alongside with Pylons, and storm is indeed installed as an egg in the virtual Python environment which Pylon setup for me, and it also searches the correct paths.</p>
  
  <p>However, when the import code above is evaluated, the following exception is being thrown:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ImportError: No module named local</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I'm not explicitly including anything from a module named 'local', but 'locals'.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update (traceback)</strong></p>
