I'm am trying to import a file which is in another folder but unable to do it. My folder structure is

Animals/Bird/Birds.py

Animals/Bird/__init__.py

Animals/Mammals/Mammals.py

Animals/Mammals/Testing.py

Animals/Mammals/__init__.py

I'm unable to access Birds.py file from Testing.py file

Animals/Bird/__init__.py
----------------------
name = "Bird"


Animals/Mammals/__init__.py
----------------------
name = "Mammals"


Animals/Bird/Birds.py
----------------------
print("Hello")


Animals/Mammals/Mammals.py
----------------------
print("BYE")

I have tried using init.py file for importing but could not find the solution

# Import classes from your brand new package
from Mammals import *

from Bird.Birds import *

I wanted to access Birds.py file from Testing.py file which is other directory which raising me an error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Bird'"

  • While there are some differences, you could use [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50155464/using-pytest-with-a) as a guideline. The answer lays out three different solutions of how your tests can properly import your code. – Arne Jun 04 '19 at 18:01

after some research i think you can't directly import it so you might try to extend the python reach to the directory you want by 

import sys
sys.path.append('Animals/Bird') # directory you want to access that you might wanna put more accuratly
from Birds import *

Try:

from ..Bird.Birds import *

or if you also want the Bird __init__.py:

from ..Bird import *

as you need to go into the parent directory first, where the module is located.

If you would be in the Mammals directory and not in Testing.py, you would just need one . in front of Bird: 

from .Bird.Birds import *
