help - Module needs access to another module

[abcd]

I have the following directory/file structure...

c:\foo\utils.py
c:\foo\bar\ok.py

In ok.py I want to do something like...

import utils
utils.helpMeDoSomething(....)

However, it seems that ok.py doesn't "know" about utils.  Other than
manually configuring sys.path what can I do?

thanks
