Relative imports are relative to a package's hierarchy of namespaces, not
relative to the file system. As such, you can't perform a relative import
of a module that isn't in the same top-level package (and besides this, the
import statement that you posted was an absolute import anyway).

All top-level packages have to be on sys.path, or the import system won't
be able to find them.
