Third attempt, after removing the spurious parmatic.py file, restarting Poser, opening a Python Shell and manually adding /Users/Shared/Poser Pro 2012 Content/Runtime/Python to sys.path (>>> sys.path.insert(0, '/Users ... Runtime/Python') then choosing Parmatic Updater script button. Success!

So, it seems for simple python modules (filename = module name + .py) which contain all their code in one file, just executing the .py is enough to add its path automatically to sys.path and allow everything to be found.

For python packages, however, executing a python script within the package directory itself doesn't seem to be sufficient for python to locate the package. Python needs to have the parent directory which contains the package (directory) added to the sys.path.
