[Tutor] Runing a Python program

[Evans Anyokwu]

There's a simple way you can add your directory to the execution path. 
try this 
>>> sys.path.append(r'C:\python24\myPythonFiles')
now, you can import your file with the import command
>>> import yourFile

Note: This is only a temporary solution, when you close the interpreter, it will need to be appended again.

Hope that help.

  Subject: [Tutor] Runing a Python program


  Hello people,

  As a new python programmer, I created a directory in 'C:\python24\myPythonFiles',
  and added a simple python under the myPythonFiles directory; but when I tried running it on the Python Shell, I got the following error.

  >>> import myPythonFiles.readOut

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in -toplevel-
      import mypythonFiles.readOut
    ImportError: No module named myPythonFiles.readOut

  >>> 

  How do I run a program that is placed on its own folder/directory?

  Thanks

  Henry
