Import external py script into blender script?

Question

I wrote a py script for a custom export. I'd like to append that script to my blend file and call it using some parameters. The following script is one folder above my blend file:

from sys import path
path.append('//../fbx_collection_export.py')
from fbx_collection_export import export

When running it, I get the this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fbx_collection_export'

Q: What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

Add a directory path to the system path not a filepath. (Not a relative path either) See https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/5287/using-3rd-party-python-modules — batFINGER, Nov 04 '20 at 16:34
