Importing sibling directories in Python

Please note that I’m referring to Python 2.x here, not Python 3.x.
I have a simple Python project laid out like this:
my-project/
src/
__init__.py
main.py
tests/
test_main.py
I’d like to use test_main.py to test main.py (unsurprisingly). But how do I import main.py into my test? If you’re a NodeJS fanboy like myself, you might think you can do something like this:
import '../src/main'
Right? WRONG. Take your sensible, Bash style imports back to Nodeland, you glorified jQuery developer.
In Python, you need to do two things. First, create a blank __init__.py file inside tests/. This makes it into a package or something. Then, you can use this syntax to import the file:
from src import main
And then you’re good.
