Importing files in a different directory [PYTHON]












0















Say I have an example project with the following structure:



-app
-venv (dir)
-randomPythonFile.py
-myPythonFiles (dir)
-helloworld.py


I want to import the file helloworld.py - I know I have to add the directory myPythonFiles to the interpreter path which I can do easily, but how do I push those changes to git so others don't have to manually add it to their paths?

          You need an __init__.py file in the directory.



          from myPythonFiles import helloworld
