The __import__() function expects you to use the same semantics as the
normal import keyword, where you are specifying a dot-style module path,
i.e. foo.bar.biz.baz. But it lets you do it like a function call with
strings. So you would be expected, in this case, to use a format like
"Art.Scripts.MyModule" and the "Art" location would need to be on the
PYTHONPATH
If what you actually want is to directly work with known absolute paths to
files, then you should be looking at the "imp" module, and specifically at
"imp.load_source":
