list server.)

You should put custom Python modules in lib/python2.x/site-packages.  If 
you don't you'll have to define the environment variable PYTHONPATH to 
point to the directory where your stuff is.

It seems that, in this case, you haven't actually written a QMTest 
extension.  That's different.  You have an API to conform to and a 
registration process to complete before QMTest will use the extension.  
See the manual for details.
