title: How to do imports in python?
body: <p>I did some websearch, but all I found was <strong>frustration</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I have a project in a directory (lets call it) "projectdir", in which I have "main.py".
  In projectdir I have a subdirectory called "otherstuff", In which I have "foo.py".</p>
  
  <p>How do I import foo.py, so I can use its contents in main.py, without doing much of the work that python designers/implementors should have, and without relying on boilerplate files?</p>
  
  <p>Or is that impossible in python?</p>
