require("file.py") will try to load file.py as a Julia file, which is not
what you want.
You don't add files to paths, you add directories. For example, this will
add a directory "/foo/bar" to the Python search path:
unshift!(PyVector(pyimport("sys")["path"]), "/foo/bar")
search path. You can then do @pyimport baz to import a Python module
/foo/bar/baz.py.
