Without knowing the exact names/format of those folders can't be 100% 
exact but you'd want to say something along the lines of

import gdata.example.funky
to import the module gdata/example/funky.py
or
import gdata.example2
to import the package gdata/example2 (__init__.py) - just a quick method 
to say the same thing as import gdata.example2.__init__ basically and 
logically is clear that that is the base fuctions/info etc. for that 
package (example2).
