Check what you're passing for fileName/FilePath:

 >>> import imp
 >>> with open('demo.txt', 'wb') as f:
 ...     f.write('x = 42\ny = "hello"\n')
 ... 
 >>> d = imp.load_source('SomeName', 'demo.txt')
 >>> dir(d)
 ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__',
 'x', 'y']
 >>> d.x
 42
 >>> d.y
 'hello'
 >>> d.__name__
 'SomeName'
