I can attest that this works.  I use it a *lot*, as I have a
product with explicit dependencies on some other products.

I also find that I need to import *my* product modules this
way when I use nested directory/package structure in my
product.  I have not found any equivalent to "../" in the way
Python imports modules, so I can't just "go up a directory".

Is there one, BTW?

Cheers,
Terry
