You can import it just using "import x". If you have y/x.py, you would import it using "import y.x" or "from y import x". Here x is a submodule of y and y is also a module. But where is the file for module y now? Since y is a folder, Python expects y/__init__.py for module y. That is a convention that Python uses. So to use a folder as a module you need add __init__.py to it. Got it?
