Spyder -- sys.path doesn't work fine

[Laurent Desmet]

Hi everyone,

I want to try to import a .py,  "Usefull function.py", which contain some function I want to apply. The thing is, this file is located from another folder. Here is my code :

from __future__ import print_function

import keras

from keras.models import Sequential

from keras.layers import Dense, Dropout

from keras.optimizers import RMSprop

from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle

import timeit

import numpy as np

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

import sys

sys.path.insert(0, 'C:/Users/Laurent/Desktop/travail EPM')

from Usefull_function import *

Basically I have this output :

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Usefull_function'

I don't get why, I can guarantee the file "Usefull function.py" is in this folder  'C:/Users/Laurent/Desktop/travail EPM' but for a resaon, doesn't find it.

By the way, when I click on "run" the explorer always returns to the folder where the file I'm running.

If someone could help me, I would be very gratefull !

Thank's everyone !

workaround is to use sys.path.append
