Import own .py files in anaconda spyder

Question

I\'ve written my own mail.py module in spider (anaconda). I want to import this py file in other python (spider) files just by \'import mail\'

I searched on the internet

Answer 1

To import any python script, it should exist in the PYTHONPATH. You can check this with the following code:

import sys
print sys.path

To import your Python script:

1. Put both the scripts (main and the imported python script) in the same directory.
2. Add the location of the file to be imported to the sys.path.

For example, if the script is located as '/location/to/file/script.py':

 import sys
 sys.path.append('/location/to/file/')
 import script
