Thanks, Patrick. My reference to utils.py should have been to urls.py, which I have in my mysite app package.
I'm seeing this import error on mysite.urls when I'm attempting to get Apache + mod_wsgi to serve my app. I don't remember seeing this error with the development server when I first tried out the tutorials. Probably got my configs wrong, somewhere in my second try. I'll start a new app, now that I know a little bit more about how this all works. It's a steep learning curve!
