Importing your own functions in a py file

Here is the directory structure of this demo repository:

.
├── README.md  *** <-------- WE ARE HERE
├── Root_Import.ipynb
├── analysis
│   ├── student1
│   │   └── student_Import.ipynb
│   └── subdir_Import.ipynb 
├── data
│   └── README.md
└── scripts
    └── project_test.py

There are three examples in here showing you how to import scripts/project_test.py at three different locations in this repository. The .py file with the functions will always be in: scripts/project_test.py, the three examples will show you how to import the file from three different locations.

1. Root_Import.ipynb

2. analysis/subdir_Import.ipynb

3. analysis/student1/student_Import.ipynb

This video is perhaps the best one I've seen about absolute and relative imports!
