how to import a module from a different directory in python
from folder import module
OR
import folder.module as module
import local module python
# If the module is in the same directory:
import <module_name>
# If the module isn't in the same directory:
import sys
# insert at 1, 0 is the script path (or '' in REPL)
sys.path.insert(1, '/path/to/application/app/folder')
import <module_name>
importing python module from different directory
# test.py
import sys
# append current python modules' folder path
# example: need to import module.py present in '/path/to/python/module/not/in/syspath'
sys.path.append('/path/to/python/module/not/in/syspath')
import module
python import file from different directory
# 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).
# you can however, add to the path at runtime
import sys
# insert at position 1 in the path, as 0 is the path of this file.
sys.path.insert(1, '/path/to/application/app/folder')
import file
file.function()
