Python import script on another folder in same level

Lets say this is my project structure :

codes

 - pre.py

training

 - model.py

Both folder have empty __init__.py inside them, and they are at the root folder of my project.

Suppose I want to call pre.py from the model.py :

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "../codes")
from pre import *

However the code above give me ModuleNotFoundError.

How can I fix this error?

You can create a setup.py file at the outermost level. So your directory tree may look like this

|_project_name
  |_codes
    |_pre.py
    |___init__.py
  |_training
    |_models.py
    |___init__.py
  |___init__.py
|_setup.py

Then in the setup.py do something like this

from distutils.core import setup
from setuptools import find_packages

requires = [
    'six>=1.10.0',
]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    setup(
        name="project-name",
        version="0.0.1",
        packages=find_packages(),
        author='Your Name',
        author_email='[email protected]',
        install_requires=requires,
        description='The API to fetch data from different sources',
        include_package_data=True,
    )

And finally from the outermost directory use python setup.py install it will install your package and then you will be able to easily do from project_name.pre import * in models

Also consider using a virtualenv for this kind of things.

Hope this helps.

try using full path of your code folder

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "fullpath")
from pre import *
