[FIXED] No module names 'src' when importing from parent folder in jupyter notebook

Issue

I have the following folder structure in my project

my_project
  notebook
    |-- some_notebook.ipynb
  src
    |-- preprocess
        |-- __init__.py
        |-- some_processing.py
    __init__.py

Now, inside some_notebook.ipynb I simply want to get the methods from some_processing.py. Now we I run

from src.preprocess import some_processing

from some_notebook.ipynb it always throws

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src'

I found multiple questions regarding this and played around with sys.path.append(<path-to-src>). But I couldn't solve it. Which path do I provide? Something like ../src didnt work?

I checked for example the AlphaFold project from DeepMind and they are using it also with this structure. I tried to replicate exactly like they did.

How can I solve this? Which path do I provide in sys.path.append()?

I appreciate any help!

Solution

I found the answer. Running

sys.path.insert(1, os.path.join(sys.path[0], '../src'))

made it possible to import anything from parent module src.
