How to import file and function in another folder

[SriRajesh]

Hi,
I have two folders folder1, folder2 as shown below:

Folder1
-- file1
--file2
Folder2
--file3
-- file4
I open file4 in (spyder/vscode) and want to import file2 & function2. But I am unable to open, it give Folder1 does not exists. Because when I open file4, the cwd is Folder2. How to open file in another folder.

The simplest way is to append folder1 to the list sys.path

import sys
sys.path.append('path/to/folder1')

import file2

Then you could read the section about modules in the python tutorial https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html
