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()
