Import class from file in a different folder

Question

I’m trying to use a class from other folder.

I created an __init__.py file in all my folders. But I sill can’t import the class. I’m trying to import Vector class from ex02/vector,py to ex03/matrix.py

Here is the tree file

day01
.
├── README.md
├── __init__.py
├── ex00
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── book.py
│   ├── recipe.py
│   └── test.py
├── ex01
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── game.py
├── ex02
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── pytest.py
│   └── vector.py
└── ex03
    ├── __init__.py
    └── matrix.py

I’m importing using this command:

from day01.ex02.vector import Vector

But I’m getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "matrix.py", line 1, in <module>
    from day01.ex02.vector import Vector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'day01' 

The python code that is importing is this one:

And the one that I'm trying to import is this one

To access files between folders inside your project you just need to mention the folder name and them the filename.

for example:

ProjectFolder:

• Main.py
• folderA -> FileA.py
• FolderB -> FileB.py

let's say that you are in right now in file FileA and you want to use FileB's content in it.

all you have to do is:

from FolderB import File 

Here's an actually example in VS code

So in your code in the matrix.py file just write:

from ex02 import Vector
