Well, you can try "import x", but your problem wasn't that you used the same filename as some Python script on your path, the problem was you then tried to import that other script. So to avoid infinite recursion, all you have to do is avoid importing your own filename, which should be easy enough to do (assuming there aren't any indirect loops, of course.. but admitting that possibility is the price you pay for having the advantages of a dynamic language)
