The code in b.py matters. I /suspect/ it's importing itself somehow
(probably indirectly), and Python doesn't look for ".python" files
when importing, so it fails with an ImportError. But since you haven't
shown the code, I can only guess.

For that matter, the full exception Traceback would be more helpful
than the code; please include it as well.

Cheers,
Chris
