How do I import a python file using Ansible Playbook?
This is on a Linux machine. I have a run.yml like this
---
- name: Appspec
hosts: localhost
become: true
tasks:
- name: test 1
script: test.py
test.py uses a python file (helper.py) by 'import helper' which is in the same path as the ansible-playbook and while running the playbook.yml it still gives me a 'Import Error: cannot import name helper'. How should I do this?

Copy both test.py and helper.py over to same directory on the remote machine (possibly to a temporary directory) and run python test.py as a command task. Something like this:
- name: Create temporary directory
tempfile:
state: directory
register: tmpdir
- name: Copy test.py
copy:
src: /wherever/test.py
dest: "{{tmpdir.path}}/test.py"
- name: Copy helper.py
copy:
src: /wherever/helper.py
dest: "{{tmpdir.path}}/helper.py"
- name: Run test.py
command: python test.py
args:
chdir: "{{tmpdir.path}}"
