Can you import a python module from another directory in a github repo?

Question

I have a github repo consisting of python files/modules which looks like this.

Folder1 >>> file_to_import + Folder2 
Folder2 >>> more_files

Can I directly import the file_to_import into folder 2's more_files using python's command

import file_to_import

If not what should I do?

../ Does this mean I have to mention the full path? – KUSHAGRA BANSAL Aug 11 '20 at 12:57
No ../ means one directory back – Niklas Ziermann Aug 11 '20 at 13:02
Thank you! Suppose if I want to go two directories back can I use `../` twice? – KUSHAGRA BANSAL Aug 11 '20 at 13:09
Yes that would work like this: ../../ – Niklas Ziermann Aug 11 '20 at 13:10
