Importing custom library from different folder path in python

Question

I have the following folder structure:

A/fold1/MyLib/package/

in which I have an __init__.py file and a file with the functions I need, let's call it file.py .

When I work from this path:

A/fold1/myProject/script.py

I try to import it but it looks like this library can't be found.

I have already worked, and it was fine when I had a structure like this:

A/fold1/myProject/package/file.py

where package contained also the __init__.py file.

I also got suggestions from the Spyder IDE. What I used, to make it work was to import like this:

if packagePath not in sys.path:

    sys.path.append(packagePath)

import package.file as f

But currently it doesn't work, and I don't even get the suggestions from the Spyder IDE.

Is there a way to import from the specified structure?

I wanted a folder with all my functions, and if possible to have it in this folder and not between the hundreds of libraries of python.

Thanks!
