In my external method I have something like this:
...
sys.path.insert(0, CCPNPYTHON)
This is not a good idea!
The source of an "External Method" can be read arbitrarily often --
and each time, you extend "sys.path"...
We get around this 'evergrowing' path problem by (if there is a problem with 
this solution let me know!):

import sys
SOMEPATH = '/some/path/goes/here'
if SOMEPATH not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(SOMEPATH)
