I am fooling with a CGI script which does what, to me, looks like
a totally legitimate import from the directory where it itself is.
The directory shows up in sys.path and I can do os.listdir() on it
and see the thing I want to import. Yet I continue to get an
ImportError. I tried the code above to see if I could learn more,
and just got the expected error message.

Are there any deeper or more insight-offering ways to debug
problems with importing? Is there any sort of verbose debug option
that spews out messages about exactly how or why the import failed?

Resistance is futile. Capacitance is efficacious.
