Anyone knows how to import an entire script from another folder without using os ? specifically I want to import the script utils_database.py in basic_etl.py I tried to use from utils import utils_database in basic_etl.py but it does not work.
Thanks!
The root folder of your project is one level up from the utils folder, so you have to include 01.etl as the top-level package, but then 01.etl is not a valid package name as it starts with a number, so you should rename the folder to something like etl first and then do from etl.utils import utils_database in base_etl.py.

I am currently trying to import some python files inside of a folder named "modules". My file structure is as follows:
src
- classes
- modules
- image generator ( the file where I am trying to import modules)
Error:
from modules.processing import StableDiffusionProcessingTxt2Img, process_images
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'modules'
from modules.processing import StableDiffusionProcessingTxt2Img, process_images
I have attempted to add both an __init__.py in my classes folder, as well as my modules folder, but unfortunately that did not resolve any of my problems.
I have verified that the files I am trying to import are infact in my modules folder.
You must import from the projects' root directory. Assuming src/ is the root directory, you must import as follows:
from classes.modules.processing import StableDiffusionProcessingTxt2Img, process_images
Since you are trying to import functions from another python file that's located on another folder, it is having a hard time figuring out where it is located.
Try this:
import sys
sys.path.insert(1,'/src/classes/modules')
import (your python file)
Make sure you keep the above code on the python file where you are trying to import functions from other .py files
Remember, the path is the absolute path from root. Not sure how many more layers you have before src, put accordingly.
Also, the last line is import python file. So, if you have x.py inside modules, try import x. Then you will be able to use functions inside there.
I have a folder named as "model_dir" contains multiple *.py files.
model_dir:
"model.py"
"utils.py"
inside model.py I can import like this: from utils import test
I want to copy the whole folder inside a package. Currently to make the import works inside the package I have two options:
1- adding folder path to sys.path
2- add dot for imports, like this: from .utils import test
Is there any way to make imports work without changing the code or sys path?
Have you tried including a blank __init__.py file in the model_dir folder? That should let python files import sibling files- I'm a novice dev myself and often run into pitfalls with imports inside packages, and I've found this link
to be pretty helpful figuring out what I've done wrong
I have my folder setup as such.
Desktop/project1/
Inside project1, I have the main.py where I have all my functions stored, as well as a folder for each instance. So it looks like this.
Desktop/project1/main.py
Desktop/project1/user1/
Desktop/project1/user2/
and inside the user folders, i have:
Desktop/project1/user1/user1.py
Desktop/project1/user2/user2.py
I need to be able to import and use the functions from main.py in each user.py folder inside the folder for that user. Any Idea how to do this easily?
I am using Pycharm, and when I start typing this in, it auto fills it for me, like it can see both the main.py, as well as the functions inside it, but then when I run the program I get an error.
from main import function1
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'main'
Thanks
You can just add the directory's path to your sys.path using
import sys
sys.path.append(r'path\to\dir')
After that you can normally import the file.
You can retrieve the parent directory's path using pathlib.
Try to create an empty file __init__.py in your module directory. __init__ can detect your custom python modules
I am working on a project based on Python 2.7 and I am trying to import a module which is in a package folder that contains __init__.py and the file that I want to import called package1.py, but I am unable to do so. This is my folder structure: main_project/Tools/common/package1.py
Note that my project files are in the folder main_project. So, I am trying to call the package1.py by using an import statement in my script:
from Tools.common.package1 import variable
But I am getting an ImportError: No module named Tools.common.package1.
What is the solution to solving this error as I want to use the package feature for my project?
Maybe use the solution i found here :
# some_file.py
import sys
# insert at 1, 0 is the script path (or '' in REPL)
sys.path.insert(1, '/path/to/application/app/folder')
import file
or verify your module has a __init__.py
Importing files from different folder
Ok I have found the answer. I also had to insert an init.py in the folder Tools as well. Initially I only inserted init.py in common but not in Tools as we should also make Tools a package if we want to access common
I am working on some python project (2.7) and I have issue with imports. When I run main.py it start scripts from tests folder etc. and save output to logs and everything works fine.
/root------------
-logs
-staticCfg
-config.py
-tests
-systemTest
-scrypt1.py
-scrypt2.py
-userTest
-uScrypt1.py
main.py
My static variables (email, name etc.) are located in config.py. I need to import config.py in scrypt1.py or scrypt2.py. I tryed adding __init__.py to tests, systemTest and staticCfg folder but I always get an error.
In my scrypt1.py:
import staticCfg as cfg
...
or
from staticCfg import *
...
I get the error:
ImportError: No module named staticCfg
The import mechanism of Python can be a bit tricky.
You can refer to the documentation for more information: Python Import Mechanism
When you use absolute imports (your import does not start with a .) as you do, the import path will start from your main script (the one you launch). In your case, it's scrypt1.py. So starting from this location, python can't find the package staticCfg.
For me, the simplest solution is to create a main script in your root directory and call scrypt1.py from there (imported using from tests.systemTet import scrypt1.py). In this case, the base package will be your root folder and you will have access to the package staticCfg from all your script files as you wanted to do.
you may add root folder to PYTHONPATH.
