UPADTE A new version v0.4.2 was released & this fixed the issue, of pyimgur import, after the updates I was able to import the module pyimgur in my gae app as well as in python cmd. (thanks for all your input I did include the module files in my app directory as well, it fixed it!) — Simon K Bhatta4ya

For modules on the Google App Engine servers, other than those in official third party libraries you have to upload them with your application code.

For local dev_appserver, they have to reside in your PYTHONPATH.

The safe way to resolve both is to place the desired module in your application directory, as the dev_appserver extends PYTHONPATH by it.
