I needed to dynamically import a module based on a path to that file on disk, without it necessarily being on the Python Path.

import imp, os

def module_from_path(filepath):
    dirname, filename = os.path.split(filepath)
    mod_name = filename.replace('.py', '')
    dot_py_suffix = ('.py', 'U', 1) # From imp.get_suffixes()[2]
    return imp.load_module(mod_name, open(filepath), filepath, dot_py_suffix)

"""
Usage:
mod = module_from_path('/path/to/something.py')
mod.function_inside_something()
"""
