You have:

c:/python/progs/abc/filea.py
c:/python/progs/abc/fileb.py
c:/python/progs/def/filed.py
c:/python/progs/def/filee.py

__init__.py in progs   (empty...)
__init__.py in abc
__init__.py in def

c:/python/site-packages/lib/locals.py  which contains:
c:/python/progs/

You don't need the subdirectories.  You can do:

import abc
import abc.filea
from abc import filea
