You need to place a "__init__.py" file in a directory you want to reference in an import statement.

I don't believe the content of the file is important but you can place code in the file that will affect how files are imported.

The import syntax is a such.

import directory1.directory2.file.py

Place "__init__.py" in both "directory1" and "directory2"

Good luck simon.

I can't.


>>> import file.py


is all very well if the interpreter knows where file.py is.


I want to do this :

>>> import /directory1/directory2/file.py


Is this not possible ?
