As u have described it seems that the folder from which u are trying to run the
script contains some dll/so which have the same name as one of the modules u are
using in your script. 

eg. like in your script u have:

import xyz
#call some function from xyz
xyz.funct()

here xyz is some python module u are using.

but as the error message says it may be that the particular folder from which
the script gives ImportError contains some dll/so with the same name i.e. 
xyz.dll or xyz.so. 

Still it is just a wild guess :-)
