Your description doesn't make it entirely clear what you're particular staging set up looks like. Traditionally a staging setup is completely separate from the production one; let's assume that is the case here (although I don't quite understand your query about import paths in views). You can set the Python path for each installation (sandbox/staging/production) to point to their particular import root. You don't need to include the project directory in the import path (see [1]) -- this is partly because there may not even be a "project directory" -- so you could have the two installations side-by-side under differently named project directories. Or you could have the same project directory name under different parent directories.
