How to Import Files From a Different Folder in Python?
To import files from a different folder in Python, you can modify your system path to include the path to the folder containing the files that you want to import. You can achieve this by following these steps:
Find the path to the folder containing the files that you want to import. For example, let's say you have a folder named "my_module" containing a file named "my_file.py" that you want to import into another file.
In your Python script, add the following code at the beginning:
import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/my_module')
Replace "/path/to/my_module" with the actual path to the folder containing your module.
- Now you can import the module using the standard import statement:
import my_file
Note that if you have multiple files in your module, you can create a file named init.py in the module folder to make it a package and import files within the package using dot notation. For example, if you have a file named "my_subfile.py" within the "my_module" folder, you can import it using:
from my_module import my_subfile
