Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,
I'm having a python script: test.py in /path/to/script/test.py
I'm using a properties file: test_properties.py (it is having values as dictionary{}) which is in same DIR as the script.

Sample Properties file:

Code:

params = {
'target_db'     :     'a1_db'
'src_db'           :      'src1_db'
'countryCode'   :    'cc'
'date_1'    : 'start_date'
'date_2'   : 'end_date'
}

My sample code:
==============

Code:

from test_properties import *

It is working fine.
//Issue//
Now I'm keeping the properties file in: /path/to/config DIR and referring it in my script.
I have tried:
==========

Code:

fileName1=os.path.join('/path/to/config','test_properties.py')
from fileName1 import *

It is giving error:
==============

Code:

ImportError: No module named fileName1

I'm using python version 2.6 (default with Linux as of now in all Non-PROD serves) and I have requested Admin to to upgrade/install python 3.4+

Please help.

Thanks,
Saptarshi
