importing files from a different git repo - Python

Question

On my root home directory, I have the following git repositories:

/root/foo
/root/foo-lib

One python file, let's say hello.py, in /root/foo/scale/hello.py needs a file from /root/foo-lib called bar.py (/root/foo-lib/lib/bar.py)

Inside hello.py I may have:

import scale.test as test 
...

And many others. However, I need to import the bar.py library into that file, which is in a separate repository. How can I accomplish that? I need something like

import foo-lib.lib.bar as bar

in my hello.py file. I'm no sure how to achieve that. Could someone give me a clue?

Hi, were you able to resolve this?

You can create a file /root/__init__.py, and within /root/foo/scale/hello.py, you can use the statement

import ...foo-lib.lib.bar as bar

Another alternative is to create a symlink within your /root/foo/scale/ directory, pointing towards /root/foo-lib
