subdirectories for sys.path import?

[mh]

I'm currently sharing a directory on sys.path with another
group.

We don't have the option to modify sys.path.

In order to reduce conflicts between the two group's code,
installation procedures, etc, I'd like to make a subdirectory
for each group, and have each group manage their own subdirectory.

/oursharedpath/lib/python/group1
/oursharedpath/lib/python/group2

Is there a way to import a module from one of these subdirectories?
Any other more pythonic ways to approach the situation?

Many TIA!
Mark

ah, the magic of __init__.py.

Thanks all!
