importing local modules

[swill]

I have a project with a file structure as follows:

my_project
  __init__.py
  my_code.py
  lib
    __init__.py
    my_lib.py

If I run the following code, everything works just fine:

import lib.my_lib as my_lib
... do something with my_lib ...

However, if I try to do the following I get an error:

from process_isolation import import_isolated
my_lib = import_isolated('lib.my_lib')
... do something with my_lib ...

I get the error:

ImportError: No module named lib.my_lib

How do I make this work? Thanks...

I was able to get this working with the following. I figured I would post back with the solution I found for everyone's benefit...

import os
import sys
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))+'/lib')
from process_isolation import import_isolated
my_lib = import_isolated('my_lib')
... do something with my_lib ...

This explicitly adds my lib to the system path since it does not appear that local modules are picked up by this code. This is a valid workaround from what I can tell...
