As I said in my comment use import create_patch after adding to sys.path
In directory /home/rolf/program/manage_dataset there is a python program called create_patch.py

def print_patch_id():
    print "Printed from create_patch.py"

Accessing it is as follows from my /home/rolf directory:

$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10) 
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.insert(0,'/home/rolf/program/manage_dataset')
>>> import create_patch as cr_pat
>>> cr_pat.print_patch_id()
Printed from create_patch.py
>>>
