import-parent

A small utility for importing Python modules using paths relative to the calling script — without modifying your project structure.

Modifies sys.path, which is maybe kinda janky, but it works and will make life easier than having to run pip install -e . in every project.

Installation

pip install import-parent

Usage

from import_parent import add_parent_to_path
add_parent_to_path("..")

Notes

• the name on PyPI is import-parent (with a hyphen), but when you load it in python, you need to use import_parent (with an underscore)
