Instantly Download or Run the code at https://codegive.com
importing a module from the previous directory in python can be achieved by manipulating the sys.path variable or by using relative imports. in this tutorial, i'll walk you through both methods with code examples.
understanding sys.path:
python looks for modules in the directories listed in sys.path. by modifying this list, we can include the path to the previous directory.
code example:
create a directory structure like this:
here's the code for main.py:
and the code for previous_module.py:
run main.py, and it should import previous_module.py successfully.
understanding relative imports:
python allows you to use relative imports to reference modules from the current or parent packages.
code example:
modify the directory structure like this:
add an empty __init__.py file to previous_directory to make it a package.
now, modify main.py:
run main.py, and it should import previous_module.py successfully.
choose the method that best fits your project structure and coding preferences.
