%importfile tries to import Python file in most "natural way". For example, if you have spam/egg/module.py, spam/egg/__init__.py and spam/__init__.py, you would want import module.py as spam.egg.module, not as module or egg.module. %importfile tries several heuristics to find the best "module path".
