Python starts up with a list of directories to search when importing.  
You can append your directory to that list, and then import as you wish.

import sys
sys.path.append('/...path-to.../.foo')
import someModule  # would find and import .foo/someModule.py

You may also enjoy printing the contents of sys.path to see the list of 
directories Python starts with.
