You have two choices: 1. In this way you can import single modules (files) in tour folder import sys sys.path.append(r'D:\programs\Functions\') import my_module_1 import my_module_2 and then use whatever you have in the modules: my_module_1.my_function() print my_module_1.my_variable 2. If you add an empty python module called __init__.py inside the folder D:\programs\Functions\, then python will handle the folder as a package (i.e. a group of modules) and you can import them in this way: sys.path.append(r'D:\programs\') import Functions # I'm not sure this is needed ... from Functions import my_module_1, my_module_2 And then use whatever is in your modules as in case 1. If you put any code in __init__.py, this code will be executed when the import Functions statement is executed. This can be handy in some cases, e.g. if you have subfolders of Function folder and want to extend sys.path to include all them. For more details, read the section 6 of Python tutorial.
