I just ran into this problem trying to run a package from a local
directory.  I agree creating another script just to import the local
package is a bad solution. Without another option, I would recommend
using a Makefile and creating a target to import the package and
kickoff the execution:

hello:
    python -c 'from testpackage import config; config.hello()'

and then "make hello" to execute the command.
