Oh, not the large halibut again! (I will be cleaning them up ;)
os.chdir('%s/..' % cwd)
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
from templateFrame import top, bottom
os.chdir(cwd)
Why doesn't it work if I move the bottom imports to the top? The form
values get lost, even though I chdir to cwd.
I try to avoid changing the directory.
It's either that or copying them all over to the other dir, which is even
worse, since I don't want to maintain identical scripts.
Thanks,

You miss the point. Rather than doing chdir to change the current
directory, in order to use getcwd in your sys.path.append, calculate the
appropriate directory yourself, and use it directly, without changing
the current directory. Brute force would be something like (untested):
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), ".."))
You could get trickier by stripping off the last node of the directory
path, but it shouldn't be necessary.
Incidentally, I'd tend to use os.path.dirname( __main__.file ) rather
than os.getcwd(). That way it'd work even if current directory was
changed by something else. In other words (untested):
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
this will add the parent directory of the current module to the os.path.
