This is (I believe) because of the "." at the front.

It's quite correct, there never could be a module named that. The name
of your module is TestPythonFoo -- so all you should have to do is
./TestOfficiel TestPythonFoo multiply 3 2

"pythonfile" is confusing; it should be "modulename".

As the docs for this function say, it just calls the same routine that
is called by the __import__ built-in function. One can experiment with
that:
OS-prompt>copy con foo.py
print 'hello fubar world'
^Z
1 file(s) copied.
OS-prompt>python
Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> __import__("foo")
hello fubar world
<module 'foo' from 'foo.py'>
>>> __import__("foo.py")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named py
>>> __import__("")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: Empty module name
>>> __import__(r".\foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: Empty module name
>>> __import__(r"./foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: Empty module name
>>> __import__(r"/foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named /foo
>>> __import__(r".foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: Empty module name
>>>
Hmmm ... "empty module name" is rather misleading when it starts with a
"." -- I can feel a bugfix^^^^^^ enhancement request coming on :-)
HTH,
