import module#Unfortunately, Python will only find your file if your file is in the systems path. But fear not! There is a way around this!
#Using python's sys module, we can add a directory to the path just while Python is running, and once Python stops running, it will remove it from the path.
#You can do this by:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/application/app/folder')
import [file]# By default, you can't. When importing a file, Python only
# searches the current directory, the directory that the
# entry-point script is running from, and sys.path which includes
# locations such as the package installation directory
# (it's actually a little more complex than this, but this covers
# most cases).
# you can however, add to the path at runtime
import sys
# insert at position 1 in the path, as 0 is the path of this file.
