Amazing.  When trying to split a path string, consider using 
os.path.split().  When trying to get rid of the file extension, consider 
using os.path.splitext().  When trying to get the last item of a list, 
consider using subscript of -1.  And when you want all but the last 10 
characters of a string, use [:-11] instead of a two-step.

Since you've hardcoded the directory structure (also a bad idea), this 
may not be quite right.  But something like:
  site = os.path.splitext(os.path.split(__file__)[1])[0][:-8]

will extract the beginning of the basename, whether it's a URL, or 
Linux, or Windows.

But all of this has nothing to do with your original question, which said:

We were all willing to overlook the misuse of the word script -- a 
python source file that's imported isn't a script, it's a module --  but 
somehow we assumed you were asking a serious question.  Nothing about 
the code you now post has anything to do with the script that imported it.
