[FIXED] Python - import helpers

Issue

How do I import helpers in script.py ?

Python version : 3.6.8

directory structure :

main_folder
 |
 | folder1
 |  | folder2
 |  |  | script.py
 |
 | helpers.py

script.py :

from helpers import markdown

command :

python3 folder1/folder2/script.py

error :

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'helpers'

Solution

You can add the following to the top of script.py to correctly set the path.

import sys
import os

module_path = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())

if module_path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(module_path)

Keep the rest as is and it should work
