Paths

I run the command

pip install pathlib

to get the library I need.

Then I copy Exercises_11 to my project and call it Network.

Once my project becomes more complex, I may need to be more sophisticated in how I handle paths.

In the root directory, I create a file called mypaths.py and I define how to find some of my important files.

from pathlib import Path

PROJECT_ROOT = Path(__file__).parent
UDP_SETTINGS = str(PROJECT_ROOT / "Network/settings/udp.py")

I edit main.py

"""
main.py
By: JOR
Date: 20OCT23
"""

from mypaths import UDP_SETTINGS as udp_settings
print(udp_settings)

And I get the result

We do all the hard work in mypaths.py and keep our code nice and readable in main.py

Read about pathlib, it is very powerful once we have complex directory structures.
