You should say from "yade import *" in your module (that gives you all
yade classes and so on available); the command line does that
automagically for you.

If your mopdule cannot be found by the import statement, it means it is
not in the module search path (which does _not_ include the current
directory by default); you can fix that easily:

import sys
sys.path.append('.')
imporet myModuleName # ./myModuleName.py will be found then

see http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.path as well
