How can I import Python script at Pybind11 when C++ and Python files are not at the same folder?

Question

Example of Files directory:

base-->
      src_c-->
              Example.cpp (imports myPyExample.py)
      src_python-->
              myPyExample.py

and I'd like to import python script using pybind11

What is the way to do it? (found only examples where both are under the same folder)

This may be overly simple, but you could just use '../src_python/myPyExample.py'

Another solution would be to have some function which returns the absolute path to 'base' then use it to create an absolute path to 'src_python'

like this: path = getBaseDirectory() + "/src_python/myPyExample.py"
