How to import a function or variable from the sibling directory of Django project?

Question

I want to import some functions a constants variables from 5 levels upper of the current app of Django application.

My problem is that the package that I want to import from, is outside of the Django application, so Django isn't aware of it.

project structure:

├── lawcrawler
│   ├── get_all_amended_laws_urls.py # import a function from this file
│   ├── lawcrawler
│   │   └── spiders
│   │       └── settings.py # import variables from this file
│   │
├── project
│   ├── apps
│   │   ├── laws
│   │       ├── management
│   │           ├── commands
│   │               ├── add_list_of_amended_laws.py # import function and variables to this file
│   ├── manage.py

As per python docs, two or more leading dots indicate a relative import to the parent(s) of the current package, one level per dot after the first. So, I tried relative import like this:

from .......lawcrawler.lawcrawler.spiders.settings import SPARQL_ENDPOINT, AMENDED_URL_FILE_PATH, get_law_amendment_query

and this:

from .....lawcrawler import get_all_amended_urls

but got this error:

ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

How to import the functions and variables or solve this issue?
