%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".

%install_ext https://raw.github.com/tkf/ipython-importfilemagic/master/importfilemagic.py
Usage:
%importfile PATH/TO/SOME/FILE.py
