How do I import a module in a package / folder with a dot in the filename for a relative import?

Question

my file organization

problem:

sikuli includes .sikuli as name of folder and doesn't seem to support multiple script files within one folder

I want to re-use functions from duel.py in duel_all.py

Answer 1

use shell util to copy the file over and use it

import shutil
from os.path import join, dirname, basename
__dirname = dirname(__file__)
shutil.copy(join(__dirname, '..', 'duel.sikuli', 'duel.py'), join(__dirname, 'duel.py'))

from duel import duel
