Import .py functions from Github into PyCharm

Question

I'm completely new to PyCharm and Python, so I might get some terminology wrong.

I'd like to use a few .py functions (which a colleague of mine prepared) in my program in PyCharm. These functions are stored on GitHub. In a demo, which is stored in the same repo, she was able to simply import them with

import function_name

I've already cloned the repo to an external hard drive (I don't have any free space left on my machine). But even after searching this forum for solutions, I wasn't able to figure out how to import them into my program.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And you can only import modules/namespaces instead of functions. — Panwen Wang, Jul 02 '20 at 17:27

This should provide an answer to your Question: How to import a module given the full path? You can then set the absolute path to the files you want to import. Hope I could help you out.

That's for dynamic imports – juanpa.arrivillaga Jul 02 '20 at 17:22
