Importing Python Modules

Question

I'm asking this because I couldn't find any precise answer for my problem. I need to import a python script from another location into my current location.
Here's the directory structure :

C:\Users\dhi\workspace\BasicRegression\Create&&Bkp-Inputs\create&&bkp.py <-- Needs to Import C:\Users\dhiw\workspace\basics\Login.py <-- Needs to be Imported by create&&bkp.py

What line should be included in "create&&bkp.py" to Import "Login.py" ?
basics,Create&&Bkp-Inputs are Folders.

You are asking for trouble by using `&&` in your file names... — beroe, Nov 20 '14 at 16:04
why ? any way to escape it in case its some sort of a special character ? — Dhiwakar Ravikumar, Nov 20 '14 at 16:05
Don't use such characters, it's horrible and can lead to unexpected side effects on different systems and configurations. — tamasgal, Nov 20 '14 at 16:09
Thanks for you advice @septi. I have changed the name "Create_And_Backup.py" — Dhiwakar Ravikumar, Nov 20 '14 at 17:02

Python looks for modules along the PYTHONPATH, which you can append to relatively easily.

import sys
sys.path.append("C:\\Users\\dhiw\\workspace\\basics\\")

import Login
