Python: Include Library Folder When Running From Command Line

I have a directory structure: root_dir ├── src │   └── p1.py └── lib ├── __init__.py ├── util1.py └── util2.py I want to

Solution 1:

You need the following steps

1. Add __init__.py at lib folder.

Add this line at p1.py file on top

import sys
sys.path.append('../') 
import lib.util1 as u1

Run the p1.py file from src dir. Hope it will work.

Edit:

If you do not want to add sys.path.append('../'), set PYTHONPATH in env-var from this resource. How to add to the pythonpath in Windows?

Solution 2:

Improving on Saiful's answer, You can do the following which will allow you to run the your program from any working directory

import sys
import os
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), "../"))
import lib.util1 as u1
