beyond top level package error in relative import

Question

It seems there are already quite some questions here about relative import in python 3, but after going through many of them I still didn\'t find the answer for my issue. s

Answer 1

This one didn't work for me as I'm using Django 2.1.3:

import sys
sys.path.append("..") # Adds higher directory to python modules path.

I opted for a custom solution where I added a command to the server startup script to copy my shared script into the django 'app' that needed the shared python script. It's not ideal but as I'm only developing a personal website, it fit the bill for me. I will post here again if I can find the django way of sharing code between Django Apps within a single website.
