Fwd: Need to import stuff

[abhijeet thatte]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. But I guess it does not support nested file paths.
If user gives 'abcd' then I need to import "*/Do/Stuff/abcd*". Out of which
only *"abcd" is taken run time. Do and Stuff are fixed. *
*I got an error "*ImportError: Import by filename is not supported.". Any
solution??
