I wrote
from __main__ import bidon
Not
from main import bidon

__main__ is the namespace of the script you run.
It is always already loaded so you don't need any modification to sys.path.

I would define bidon in base_classes.py, have the script import that 
module and have the plugin import __main__ and refer to the bidon it via 
from __main__.base_classes import bidon

Otherwise have the script add the directory of base_classes.py to 
sys.path and the plugin just
from base_classes import bidon
