How can I import module if I have an absolute path in Python

Question

I need to import my module foo.py if I've got an absolute path (so module is located in "users/suv/desktop/pr1/pyth" but can be located in any different path as well) . I tried

  import sys

  MYDIR = "users/suv/desktop/pr1/pyth"
  sys.path.append(MYDIR)
  import foo

and I have the following mistake:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./stats", line 7, in <module>
  import foo
ImportError: No module named foo

So what am I doing wrong?

Cheers

It looks like you're on a Unix-like system. Absolute paths usually start with an initial "/". Is that really your absolute path? — Dan Getz, May 18 '14 at 12:12
