It does appear to be a missing import.    Perhaps some weird Python 
interpreter thing allowed the utils to "just work" as the parent module 
had already imported it?   Really that shouldn't happen.

Ultimately though, you probably want the cobbler mailing list for stuff 
like this -- https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler

I'll fix it.

Thanks!
