Python Import Error

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

I am trying to call a function I wrote in a .py file by another .py file, but I am receiving an error. I created a simple example to better express the issue.

 

In the SetFigureSizePos.py, there is a function definition called Figure_Size_Pos, which includes a simple if function. It returns a string.

 

I want to call that function in another .py file in the same directory. That is what zzz.py file in the attachment does. In order to import the function into zzz.py, I use 'from SetFigureSizePos import Figure_Size_Pos'. When I run zzz.py I receive an error in the Python Window saying 'ImportError: No Module named SetFigureSizePos' When I tried this approach directly in Python, it worked. Can you please help me with this issue?

 

Thank you

Berker

Please add the below lines on top in your zzz.py and it will do the trick.   sys.path.append sets the path to import the files from the current folder.

 

 import sys

sys.path.append('C:/Users/vkandukuri/Downloads')  #change the path to the path where you have the files

 

Thanks,
