How to import variables stored in a python file in a different directory?-CodePudding

My folder structure looks like the following:

Backend/config.py hostName = "0.0.0.0"

Backend/Utils/upload.py #I want to use the hostName in this file, how to import it?

I tried using the following in the upload file:

import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
import config as appConf

If I execute my program from the folder Backend:

\Backend> py .\utils\upload.py

it is working fine. But if I keep it as

\Backend\Utils> py upload.py

it is not working. I would like to understand how this works. I am trying to execute this from my python virtual environment.

Kindly help me out.

I am sorry if my question is not clear or very simple.

CodePudding user response：

You should declare your varriable in

class

then import your upload.py file into the desired file and get. e.g.

Upload.hostName

CodePudding user response：

\Backend> py .\utils\upload.py - Here, there is a 'utils' folder. And you said it is working fine.

\Backend\Utils> py upload.py - Here, it is 'Utils'. Could you please clarify on this ?
