How to call files from other folders in Python

Question

I have a project structured like this:

Folder A
    Folder B
        b.py
        __init__.py
    Folder C
        c.py
        __init__.py
__init__.py

I want to import c.py from b.py, is there any way I can do this without:

Thank you so much.

I assume this is part of a larger project. You should run python <script name> from the parent directory of Folder A. Then you can do

import A.C.c

or

from A.C import c

Yeah but that would mean moving `b.py` to the parent directory which Im trying to avoid. – guppythegod Feb 21 '18 at 23:54
@guppythegod You can use the directory structure from your original question. Are you running `b.py` directly or is it imported from another script file? – Code-Apprentice Feb 21 '18 at 23:57
it eventually will be run from another file, but right now Im running the file by itself (for testing) and doing something like `from Folder A.Folder C import c` doesnt work – guppythegod Feb 22 '18 at 00:03
How do you run `b.py`? – Code-Apprentice Feb 22 '18 at 00:04
`python b.py` from its directory – guppythegod Feb 22 '18 at 00:06
