The only way to do this is if you have an intermediate tangle step so
that the python file exists in a place where it can be imported. For
example, this small modification will make what you want happen.
#+NAME: my_module.py
#+begin_src python :tangle my_module.py
print('Importing my_module...')
test = 'Test String'
def find_index(to_search, target):
'''Find the index of a value in a sequence'''
for i, value in enumerate(to_search):
if value == target:
return i
return -1
#+end_src
#+NAME: intro.py
#+begin_src python :var tangle=(org-babel-tangle)
import my_module
courses = [ 'History', 'Math', 'Geography', 'Science' ]
#+end_src
#+RESULTS: intro.py
: Importing my_module...
