Importing files from different folder
I have the following folder structure.
application/app/folder/file.py
and I want to import some functions from file.py in another Python file which resides in
application/app2/some_folder/some_file.py
I've tried
from application.app.folder.file import func_name
and some other various attempts but so far I couldn't manage to import properly. How can I do this?
By default, you can't. When importing a file, Python only searches the current directory, the directory that the entry-point script is running from, and sys.path which includes locations such as the package installation directory (it's actually a little more complex than this, but this covers most cases).
However, you can add to the Python path at runtime:
# some_file.py
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/application/app/folder')
import file
Nothing wrong with:
from application.app.folder.file import func_name
Just make sure folder also contains an __init__.py , this allows it to be included as a package. Not sure why the other answers talk about PYTHONPATH.
When modules are in parallel locations, as in the question:
application/app2/some_folder/some_file.py
application/app2/another_folder/another_file.py
This shorthand makes one module visible to the other:
import sys
sys.path.append('../')
