I am having major issues with calling a function from a script in a sub-folder.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this simple task in Colab?

For example, I need the "Preprocessor" function from the "preprocessing.py" file inside the "util" directory:

from util.preprocessing import Preprocessor

It does not seem to be that simple??

[EmphaticTrain]

say i have a folder named "utils" in google drive. In this folder i have several .py files -- i want to call "from utils import ___.py" -- this does not work with the methods you mentioned. any help please?

i have .py file module, there are many files in the folder and i have uploaded that folder in gdrive and firstly i have mounted the gdrive in collab but while importing particular folder i getting no module found error.
so how to deal with it??

I want to use config python script declared variable in user define function parameter like fun_name(config.val_path) in google colab notebook.

is there an difference between module and package because i have __init__.py in module?

Hi Adrian,
How can I use a function that I've created in another.ipynb in my current.ipynb in Colab?
I have mounted my gdrive into current ipynb. Can you suggest next steps.
