dynamically importing a module and function

[rkmr.em at gmail.com]

there was a mistake in my prev mail.. it is not able to successfully
import the module.

abcde is in directory /home/mark/work/proj1, but it is looking for it
in /home/mark from where i am running the script.. though i changed
cwd using os.chdir() function

>     import abcde
>  ImportError: No module named abcde
