Re: How can I import a py script by its absolute path name?
You probably actually want:
import sys
sys.path.instert(0, r'c:\xxx\yyy')
m = __import__('zzz', globals(), locals(), [])
del sys.path[0]
Because if another module named zzz exists in your path. Appending will pick
those versions up first. Then you delete the path you just added so that you
don't have any problems importing other modules that may have the same names a
python files in the path you just added.

include path (just see what ''print sys.path'' produces)

While this will work, I think the OP may want something simpler:
my_mod = __import__('c:\\xxx\\yyy\\mymodule.py')
especially if this is following up on the relative path workaround (in
which case the result will be buried in the relative path import function).
The sys.path solution is the technique you should be using to
establish a top-level directory for your package. Once you do
that, you can use __init__.py and dotted imports to get to everything
in your package by absolute paths (that is, relative to the top-level
package, rather than to each sub-package). This is the preferred
Python approach in the current design.
However, the idea that it would be desireable to import packages by
something like ../main_package/other_subpackage/module2.py
has been suggested, and you can implement something like this using
the __import__ built-in as suggested above.

Re: How can I import a py script by its absolute path name?
A question in a similiar vein:
I have appended 2 different directories to my path (via
sys.path.append) now - without knowing the names of the files in those
directories, I want to force an import of the libraries ala:
for f in os.listdir(os.path.abspath(libdir)):
module_name = f.strip('.py')
import module_name
Obviously, this throws:
ImportError: No module named module_name
Is there some way to do this?

have a look at help(__import__) to import a module whose name is given
as a string.

This doesn't do what you think it does:
'pyoopsyp.py'.strip('.py')
'oops'
Read the docs on strip(), and then the docs on os.path.splitext() and
friends, and/or download and use Jasen Orendorrf's path module which
will make all your path-related code half the size and twice as easy to
read and write.
