Importing test libraries failed. No module named 'a'

Question

I have a folder /example which contains /Libs which further contains different folders /a, /b each containing python libraries. I am trying to run a robot framework code from /example.

The error it shows :

Importing test library 'a' failed: ImportError: No module named 'a' File "/root/Libs/a/init.py", line 7, in from a import a_classname

How can I solve this?

@ComplicatedPhenomenon As far, I know in python-2.7 we never write .py while import. — PySaad, Jul 18 '19 at 09:55
adding "--pythonpath /root/Libs/a " to my robot command helped me to import 'a'. But I have many libraries to import and can't afford to make robot command so lengthy. Is there any way to directly add these paths to PYTHONPATH? — New_to_work, Jul 18 '19 at 10:13

import os
import sys
filepath = "path/file/"
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(filepath))
from a import a_classname

Can I ask you, why append? why not insert? – PySaad Jul 18 '19 at 10:03
I think you should use filepath = "path/to/" – Wonka Jul 18 '19 at 10:34
@ComplicatedPhenomenon - Also can get problems if he executes the python script from other path, but thats not the main question, your question must solve his problem, cheers – Wonka Jul 18 '19 at 10:44
