如何从其他目录导入本地模块

Question

I made a python module which contains "template" functions i want to use in other classes. My Problem is that VS Code says "unable to import module" ---> ModuleNotFoundError

This is how i import:

from utils.util_embeds import Embeds

The File is in a subdirectory where the current file is located.

Answer 1

Example:

• how files are structured

.
├── main.py
└── test2/
    ├── file.py
    └── __init__.py

• what files contain

# main.py
from test2 import file
file.foo(10)
file.foo(None)

import test2
test2.file.foo(False)
test2.file.foo("hello world!")

from test2.file import foo
foo("Hello there")

• This file is crucial, you cannot import directly from a subfolder this file has to be a proxy.

# __init__.py
from . import file

# from . import * this would import everything from the directory
#                 where the file is placed instead of specifying
#                 every file

# file.py

def foo(x):
    print("x is:", x)
