The correct way of doing it is:
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

 chrome_src = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(script_dir, os.pardir))
 
 sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(chrome_src, 'tools', 'gyp', 'pylib'))
 import gyp
 
 # Add paths so that pymod_do_main(...) can import files.
 sys.path.insert(1, os.path.join(chrome_src, 'tools', 'grit'))
 sys.path.insert(1, os.path.join(chrome_src, 'chrome', 'tools', 'build'))
 sys.path.insert(1, os.path.join(chrome_src, 'native_client', 'build'))
