PyCharm & Visual Studio Code: importing packages

enter image description here enter image description here

The code for PyCharm to import the package extra:

from sys import path
path.append('..\\packages')
import extra.iota

The same code in Visual Studio Code rises an error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'extra'

For some reason, to import the extra module in Visual Studio Code I need to use this code:

from sys import path
path.append('.\\packages')
import extra.iota

Can somebody explain why do I need to use one dot instead of two dots in VSC?

Get the pathfile by calling file

pathfile = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file)) system.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(pathfile))

You can insert complete path of package into sys.path.

you can get current path by __file__

check below code:

path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "../packages")
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(path))

Make sure you add absolute path of the package.

Sometimes the working directory is different in many IDE so its better to use complete path.
