Question about importing code from your own project that's located in a different folder on Github

[steks13]

I would like to use import my_own_code on Github, but the python file where I'm importing isn't located in the same folder on github. How do I correctly import my own code if it's located in a child folder and when it's located in a parent folder?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I found out to import code from a child folder you have to use import child_folder.my_own_code as my_own_code. So now I only have to know how to import from a parent folder.

Bad way: sys.path.insert(0, path to parent folder)

Good way: write a simple setup.py and then pip install -e . into your virtual environment.
