Rightly so.

I think the best would be to add the directory to sys.path sys.path.add('/home/dsp/4.6.0.0')
and then
__import__('test', ... )

I see. My problem is that a have to import 2 different files having de same name. In the same name space I have 2 objects from 2 different software branches, let's say 4.6.0 and 4.6.1.
The first object shall import 4.6.0/orb.py and the second one 4.6.1/orb.py.

If I add 4.6.1 to sys.path, the import statement will look like:
self._orb = __import__('orb')
The problem is, python wil assume orb is already imported and will assign the module from the 4.6.0 branch to my 4.6.1 object.

Do I have to mess up with sys.modules keys to make python import the correct file ? Is there a standard/proper way to do that ?

If you make the directory names into proper identifiers like v460 and v461 and add __init__.py to each to make them packages and have both on search path, then

import v460.orb #or import v460.orb as orb460
import v461.orb #or import v460.orb as orb461

will get you both. One way or another, they have to get different names within Python.
