I'm in the ipython shell and can't import a function from other file. When I try:

from my_functions import this_function

I got:

No module named my_functions

But if I try the save from other file it works.

Yes, I opened the shell in the same directory of my_functions file.

import sys
sys.path.append('my/path/to/module/folder')

solved the problem.

    The better solution is to install your code in a way that doesn't require modifying `sys.path` at runtime. Use a virtual environment, and package your code so that it can be installed in a virtual environment using `pip` or some other tool. – chepner Dec 11 '22 at 16:45
