importing local modules python code example

Example 1: import local module python

# If the module is in the same directory:
import <module_name>

# If the module isn't in the same directory:
import sys
# insert at 1, 0 is the script path (or '' in REPL)
sys.path.insert(1, '/path/to/application/app/folder')

import <module_name>

Example 2: python3 import all files in directory

from inspect import isclass
from pkgutil import iter_modules
from pathlib import Path
from importlib import import_module

# iterate through the modules in the current package
package_dir = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
for (_, module_name, _) in iter_modules([package_dir]):

    # import the module and iterate through its attributes
    module = import_module(f"{__name__}.{module_name}")
    for attribute_name in dir(module):
        attribute = getattr(module, attribute_name)

        if isclass(attribute):            
            # Add the class to this package's variables
            globals()[attribute_name] = attribute

Example 3: importing modules with package in python

from pakage_name.module_name import function_name
# now we can directly use function

##################################  OR  ########################################

from pakage_name import module_name
# now we have to use module_name.function_name

Example 4: how to import modules in python

# import all functions in the module 0-print_list_intiger
import 0-print_list_intiger 
# import only print_list_integer function from the module 0-print_list_intiger
from 0-print_list_integer import print_list_intiger
# point the function print_list_intiger from the module 0-print_list_intiger to a string print_list_intiger
print_list_intiger = __import__('0-print_list_intiger').print_list_integer
