How on earth do people debug Django templatetags?

I created one, based on a working example, my new tag looks the same to me as the existing one. But I just get a

'my_lib' is not a valid tag library: Could not load template library from django.templatetags.my_lib, No module named my_lib

I know that this is probably because of something failing when defining the lib. But how do I see what's going on?

What do you use to debug this situation?

Are Django template tags cached?

I have gone through the (painful) process of writing a custom template tag for use in Django. It is registered as an inclusion_tag so that it renders a template.
