Not installing module
This is a noob question. I was able to use the epsonprinter module when I included my scripts within the epson_printer folder, but after multiple attempts at using the setup script I'm unable to include the epsonprinter module in other scripts outside of the epson_printer folder. Is there a folder I should move manually to dist-packages? I ran the code provided here. Here's my full install log:

After running python setup.py install you should be able to import the epsonprinter module with from epson_printer import epsonprinter at the top of the script.
Unfortunately, I cannot use the from epson_printer import epsonprinter command. I might have botched something up on my RPi. Everything looks to be installed via the installer, but I can't find the folder anywhere in my dist-packages. Can I manually move the epson_printer folder to my dist-packages? Or perhaps the epson_printer file in the build/lib.linux_arm7l-2.7 folder? I'm not sure what else it takes to perform a module install. I'm very sorry to bother you with these petty chores, I'm rather new to all of this.
@benoitguigal Thanks to your answer I've been able to import the module, but how to print after instantiate?
I'm trying:
printer = epsonprinter(0x04b8, 0x0202)
printer.print_text("Hello")
But it shows me:
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
Thanks a lot for your help
