Question

I have a Python script in a file stored in a Folder MyFolder. Tree structure for the file system is the following

MyFolder
    - Image
          - scipt_image.py
    - script.py
    - script_test.py

I want to use scripts in Image, scipt_image.py, in script script.py. To include this script_image.py, I use this :

import os, sys
DATA_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'Image'))
sys.path.append(DATA_DIR)

Then, i import script_image.py, with

import scipt_image

From errors at compilation, this seems not be working. However, problem may come from something else. Does this sounds correct ?

thanks

Is there a specific reason you don’t simply use the Image folder as a python package and import the file directly without messing with sys.path?

I would simply turn Image into a python package (create an empty file named __init__.py in Image) and then import script_image like this:

from Image import script_image
