How to import a class of project2 in project1?

Question

I have project1 and project2 and their structures as:

project1:

F:\sampleproj1
   com
     sampleproj1
       main.py

project2:

E:\sampleproj2
    com
      sampleproj2
         xyz.py

How can I import a class for eg:mainclass(user defined) from project2 in project1?

I tried my luck as:

In main.py (sampleproj1):

import sys
sys.path.append('E:/sampleproj2/com/sampleproj2')

then

from sampleproj2.com.sampleproj2.xyz import mainclass

This doesn't work, and I guess I am wrong with the path appending....Any help is appreciated

what matters too is where are you executing the code ? what does this mean mate? — KcH, Sep 09 '19 at 05:36
Maybe try answers from this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4383571/importing-files-from-different-folder — amrs-tech, Sep 09 '19 at 05:39
When I try to import the class with '__init__.py' included , (Pycharm)IDE throwing error even while importing! — KcH, Sep 09 '19 at 05:39
where do you launch the program ? from Pycharm or with a command line from the shell? — PRMoureu, Sep 09 '19 at 05:41
`sys.path.append('E:/sampleproj2/com/sampleproj2')` allows you to import any .py file of this folder, even if `__init__.py` is not here. Could you share the exact error you are facing ? — PRMoureu, Sep 09 '19 at 05:47
This worked mate, even it is showing IDE import error, why i don't know exactly — KcH, Sep 09 '19 at 05:52
maybe pycharm cannot detect the `sys.path.append()` to adjust the warnings. — PRMoureu, Sep 09 '19 at 06:22
try with this, tested in linux not sure about windows. `import sys` `sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/your/package_or_module")` — Saleem Ali, Sep 09 '19 at 06:36

I found answer from @PRMoureu as

import sys
sys.path.append('E:/sampleproj2/com/sampleproj2')

Then simply,

from xyz import mainclass

Note: If you are using Pycharm as IDE then you might observe warnings while importing,just ignore it
