Answer 1

If you're trying to make your hello.py a module you need to create a file named __init.py__ in the hello.py folder.

Take a look at the Python documentation here.

Answer 2

There is a directory DIR containing our module X: /DIR/X

import sys    
sys.path.insert(0,"DIR")
import X

This imports the module e.g. X =hello.

Answer 3

Use this way:

import sys

then:

sys.path.insert(0,"X")

Where X is the directory you want to import from.

After that you just need to import your custom module:

import X

Thats all.
