Note that the first entry in sys.path when run from the interactive
intepreter is a blank string, which doesn't appear in the output from the
script - I assume that's what is allowing the interactive version to
import via an absolute path. I'm not sure if this is the intended
behavior or a bug.
You could make your script work the same way as the interactive
interpreter by doing:
import sys
sys.path.append('')
mod = __import__('/your/absolute/path/module')
But it might be better to just add the particular path:
sys.path.append('/your/absolute/path')
mod = __import__('module')
