Hi @KaanGogcay , welcome tk the forma!
Can you rename the folder name to something else?
Or try this:

with open('/modules/keep_alive.py','r') as file:
  file.keep_alive()

Hope this helps!

Hey @KaanGogcay Welcome to the forums!

With your file structure, there is no module named modules, or did you mean a package that is named module? If so, please run in shell

pip install modules

or

poetry add modules

Hope this helps resolve your problem

OP has a folder called modules, and wants to take a function from a file in the folder.

Could probably rename the modules folder to mods or something else.

Try simply adding a __init__.py file to modules, you don’t even need anything in it.

you have created a library called modules. But every Python library should have a file __init__.py in the library folder. In your case, to the file __init__.py you don’t need to put anything.

File __init__.py inside the folder tells the Python interpreter that it is not just a folder with files, but a module whose files can be accessed via .

I wrote from modules.keep_alive import keep_alive

Because this was for me the way to import the function keep_alive() from the file keep_alive.py located in the folder modules.

Is there somethint wrong in the way i did it? Because it used to work for 2 years straight but randomly decided not to work anymore.
