I am new to Python so bear with me.

I have recently download the pdblp module in a zip form. I then made some amendments that were needed to get through specific requests. So I have this folder, is there a way where I normally write Import pdblp that I can write import 'F:\Sam\project\' as pdblp or should it not be done like this?

  • to import it you need it on your path, so either run from that dir or dump it in you /lib/site-packages or add it to your PYTHONPATH – Nullman Dec 23 '19 at 13:36
  • Check the [docs](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#regular-packages). – xiaoyu2006 Dec 23 '19 at 13:37

You can import folder as package not module. *.py file is itself module. If you want to import folder, you need add init.py file inside the folder and then it will become package then you can import

Assuming that the module pdblp is located inside your project-directory, you can simple append your current path and then import it afterwards like so:

import sys
# Keep in mind that you need to escape backslashes by doubling them
sys.path.append("F:\\Sam\\project\\")

import pdblp

    `# Keep in mind that you need to escape backslashes by doubling them` Actually you can use [`'C:/Sam/project'`](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2953843/10811334). – xiaoyu2006 Dec 23 '19 at 13:41
