You should not.  In Python 2.6 and 3.0 it will not work any more. Use 
"import bots.transform" or "from bots import transform" instead.

Under Python 2.5, you also have the option of doing 'from .. import 
transform' to import the transform module from the package above you, 
or 'from . import transform' to import it from the package you are in.

See PEP 328 at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/ for more info.
