The path would be relative to your current working directory (os.curdir),
which means you would have to change it via os.chdir()
If you owned the process it would be fine, but maybe its not a good idea to
change the current directory from within a shared python environment like
maya, just for the purpose of importing a script.

Re: [Maya-Python] Stupid quick question about importing module from inside directory.
Yes, I am using __init__.py :)
I did get it to work with using the direct path, Thank you!
I was just really curious if I could have used the relative system path.
Thanks for clearing this up!
Thanks again guys!

1) Does the 'Art' directory under C:/some_Directory contain a "__init__.py"
file?
2) Does the 'Scripts' directory under 'Art' contain a "__init__.py" file?
3) Is a file called 'myModule.py' located within the 'Scripts' directory?
If all of that is true, then you should be able to use the
'Art.Scripts.myModule' import path via the __import__() function

This particular approach is just a lower level way of using the
__import__() function. It also requires the use of your PYTHONPATH to find
the module, or a path you provide. If you look at the docs for that
function it says you cannot pass a dot-named module. It needs to be the
actual module you want, and optionally a path to search for it. I don't
think this is what you want, since the suggestion was to either use the
__import__ approach if you want to use your PYTHONPATH and a standard
import path ("a.b.c"), or to use imp to load an absolute file path.

This should be using the absolute path. Not a relative path.
fp = os.path.join(os.environ['MAYA_TOOLS_REPO'], 'Art/Scripts/%s.py' %
moduleName)
module = imp.load_source("myModuleName", fp)

Re: [Maya-Python] Stupid quick question about importing module from inside directory.
Hey Justin, I have appended the module path to the system python path under
the ART directory
sys.path.append( '%s' % os.environ['MAYA_TOOLS_REPO']) #tools repo is Art
Directory 'C:/some_Directory''
I am still getting that error if I use windows path string or dot path. I
tried using imp to load the modules before I started this question, but
it's still giving me errors: *No module named Art.Scripts.myModule #*
fp, pathname, description = imp.find_module('Art.Scripts.%s' % Module)
module = imp.load_module(name, fp, pathname, description)
Trying to use the system path to load the modules seem a little confusing,
since I don't think I can do that directly, everything I read online is
either by direct path eg "C:/Some_dir/foo.py" and it also works if I use
the entire path (Not the system path).
Am I able to do it with imp? Because It's returning me an IOError 'Using
dot path and windows slash pathing':
module = imp.load_source('myF**kingAnoyingModule', 'Art/Scripts/%s.py' %
moduleName)
Also Thanks Alok Gandhi for helping!

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":

`imp.load_source` is what you need -
https://docs.python.org/2/library/imp.html#imp.load_source
Just a heads up, the `imp` module is deprecated in python 3.4 in favor of
`importlib`
