The file from which an ExternalMethod is instantiated is neither a
script nor a module, which means that Python's import rules don't work
for it.

In response to the original question:  I would put the 'b.py' file
somewhere on the PYTHONPATH ($INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python would be a good
choice);  'import b' will then work as expected.
