Q:

Python: How do I call a script in a parent directory's subdirectory?

I'm trying to open a Python script from the Python command line.  There's a bug in Python that makes adding Python to my environmental variable's path ineffective.  So, I have to run Python command line from the Python directory.
My script is at c:/mydir/myfile.py
How do I open it from c:/python27/python.exe; >>?

A:

access your parent directory by
import sys
sys.path.append("..")

then you access a subdirectory by placing a __init__.py in subdirectory and  writing something in it like
__all__ = ['myfile']

then you can import myfile 
Or you just want to run it. In that case you can use an absolute path.  eg. python c:\mydir\myfile.py
