Import python module from another package in vs code

Question

I have a script with the following structure

\-A (git repository 1)
  \-B
   somefile1.py
   __init__.py
setup.py
\-C (git repository 2)
newfile1.py
__init__.py

I want to use somefile1.py in newfile1.py, but I can't find a way to import it.

Both these files are in different levels. I can't change the format of these files. I added from ..A import B in newfile1.py But it didn't work in VS code.Is there any way to import the somefile1.py file?

From what I've understood you have trided this:

from ..A.B import somefile1

That called Relative import, you can learn more about this here`

But in this case absolute import should work too:

from A.B import somefile1

I tried this already. But it didn't work – Ravindran Dec 07 '22 at 10:36
It was showing 'import could not be resolved' – Ravindran Dec 07 '22 at 10:37
From what path did you ran your code where you in the root of your project or somewhere else ? – Samuel Albareda Zumelzu Dec 07 '22 at 12:48
I have loaded only the folder C in my vs code. I am currently in folder C – Ravindran Dec 07 '22 at 13:05
After some research, the issu you may have should be linked to your environment which may not be setup properly, [this answer may help you](https://stackoverflow.com/a/73307384/18793713) – Samuel Albareda Zumelzu Dec 07 '22 at 13:33
