How to import function from file.py in some_file.py?

Hey Heenakhan,

Using relative imports: Ensure app2 is treated as a package by adding an init.py file in the app2 folder. Then, use relative imports:

In some_file.py

from …app.folder.file import func_name Explanation: By adding init.py, you make the directories packages, allowing relative imports with dots representing parent directories.

Hello Heena,

Using sys.path manipulation: Add the application directory to the system path within your script before the import statement:

In some_file.py

import sys import os sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file), ‘…/…/…’)))

from app.folder.file import func_name

Explanation: This dynamically adds the application directory to sys.path, making the app module accessible for imports. The os.path.abspath and os.path.join ensure the correct path is added relative to the script’s location.
