I have written a function in python, which I want to be able to use in many different scripts.

Can I save this and then load in?

So the function is

def dosomething(x):
     do something

I want to save this as a file in my documents

file=r/xxx/xxx/dosomething.py

Then in a new script I want to load it in and use it

New Script

    df=data
    
    load_function(path=file)

    df=df.apply(dosomething)

Is anything like this possible?

You can use an import statement. for example if your script is called actions.py:

from actions import do_something

It's possible like below.

# Custom Script Path: /Users/mert/workspace/my_func.py

def say_hello(name):
    print(f"Hello {name}")

# Your another project folder

import sys
sys.path.append('path-to-your-func-folder')

import my_func
my_func.say_hello('Mert')

# Output
>> Hello Mert
