Import a custom Python module in a Python script inside another script in the Python console of QGIS

Question

I'm using QGIS in Windows. I wrote some functions in a Python script (named my_script.py) that I would like to import in another Python script but each time I do that, I have this message, even if the scripts are in the same folder or if I changed the script folder paths in the QGIS preferences:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_script'

I checked this post that proposes a solution involving modifying the console.py file of QGIS, but I cannot find this file on Windows.

Answer 1

If my_script.py is saved in C:\users\You\scripts, then in your other script do

import sys
sys.path.append("c:/users/You/scripts")
import my_script

• Yvanou: Thanks soo much!! For some reason, I've already tried this trick and it didn't work but no problem this time. I probably misspelled something.
