Inelegant. This will be elegant:
ourFile = string.split(__file__, "/")
p = ourFile[len(ourFile) - 1]
p = p[: - 3]
site = ourFile[4][:-10]
if site != '':
site = site[:-1]
from this import that(site)
Now it's automated.

Amazing. When trying to split a path string, consider using
os.path.split(). When trying to get rid of the file extension, consider
using os.path.splitext(). When trying to get the last item of a list,
consider using subscript of -1. And when you want all but the last 10
characters of a string, use [:-11] instead of a two-step.
Since you've hardcoded the directory structure (also a bad idea), this
may not be quite right. But something like:
site = os.path.splitext(os.path.split(__file__)[1])[0][:-8]
will extract the beginning of the basename, whether it's a URL, or
Linux, or Windows.
But all of this has nothing to do with your original question, which said:

We were all willing to overlook the misuse of the word script -- a
python source file that's imported isn't a script, it's a module -- but
somehow we assumed you were asking a serious question. Nothing about
the code you now post has anything to do with the script that imported it.
