Relative imports are relative to a package's hierarchy of namespaces, not relative to the file system. As such, you can't perform a relative import of a module that isn't in the same top-level package (and besides this, the import statement that you posted was an absolute import anyway). All top-level packages have to be on sys.path, or the import system won't be able to find them.
