(In [40468]) Closes #1379. It would be good to have a much more principled approach; see comments in the diffs for details.

Still failing. I'm pretty sure this is because when I tested my fix, I was running it from the same directory as the import_.py file. When it's not in the current directory, its directory needs to be added to the PYTHONPATH if it is to be found.

(In [40535]) Closes #1379, really this time. The old code would sandwich argv[1] between quotes and interpret it as a string, so backslashes in windows paths were interpreted as escape sequences.

Oh ! So the sys.path setting didn't see a valid directory. Thanks for debugging this !
