How to access a file inside another folder

Question

So I am trying to access to a file contained inside a folder which himself is inside the parent folder :

_PARENT
   - __init__.py
   - Parser
      - __init__.py
      - myPars.py
   - Getter
      - __init__.py
      - getSomething.py
   - Setter
      - __init__.py
      - setSomething.py

What I need here is to access to 'myPars' from the 'getSomething'. I tried this :

from ..Parser import myPars

But I get :

ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

What program are you actually running? How do you execute it? Is the ``PARENT`` package installed or on ``PYTHONPATH``? — MisterMiyagi, Mar 10 '20 at 15:38
My program is just parser that returns some string, and I didn't knew the ```PYTHONPATH``` do I have to insert it once or at each launch ? — Serinkan, Mar 10 '20 at 15:44

I just found the answer, all I needed was to add the folder to the path like :

pth = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())
sys.path.insert(0, pth)
