How to call functions from other python files

Question

I am working on a Python Project and want to call multiple functions from other python files, but I'm having trouble. Can someone please help me?

I want to call a function from another python file. For example: I want to call a function inside of Application.py from Main.py. — ScotthomasPrime, Sep 19 '19 at 13:29

Each of your Python file can act as a module, that you can import.

for example for numpy you just type 'import numpy' and then you'll be able to use numpy.sin() function.

by default you can only append modules located in sys.path. So What you can do is:

import sys
if not (<folder_with_your_function> in sys.path):
    sys.path.append( <folder_with_your_function> )

import <your_function>

Thx! I will do that now. – ScotthomasPrime Sep 19 '19 at 13:34
You're welcome.. It's not the best way to do it but it will work. if you want to be cleaner, take a look at 'init.py' files. – Adrien Mau Sep 19 '19 at 13:55
