How to import a file from outside the directory - sylas - May-09-2018 Hi all! I am in the directory kudoSudoku and in the file "solver.py". I want to import numbers.csv whose path is: Users\Sylas\numbers.csv. What do i write at the top of my solver.py file ? is it: "from Users.Sylas import numbers" ?? Thanks in advance. RE: How to import a file from outside the directory - Larz60+ - May-09-2018 You need to add __init__.py files, see: https://timothybramlett.com/How_to_create_a_Python_Package_with___init__py.html RE: How to import a file from outside the directory - sylas - May-10-2018 I added a __init__.py in my project. I still cannot import numbers . May I have please a reply without any link. I just put "import numbers" at the top of my solvers.py file. Apparently this import is done, but I have another error message, because he looks for a file called "numbers.csv" which is not in my project.
