Hi! I finally had some time to dive into the world of prefect (partly motivated by the great interview in Talk Python With Me) I am trying to get prefect2.0 to run for a simple workflow - and everything was working really well when i followed the tutorial but i ran into an error as soon as i stepped out from the tutorial 🤦 (i realize that this might be something simple - but i’ve tried everything i could come up with and have been reading the docs a couple of times.. So excuse me if this is something obvious - i’m just stuck.. ) The problem occurs when i’m trying to create a deployment for my flow that runs well locally. My current setup is that i have the leo_flow.py and leo_deployment.py. (According to the tutorial) But i added a file test.py (in the same directory as leo_flow.py and leo_deployment.py) from which i import a function called hello_world in the leo_flow.py (from test import hello_world) As i said, i can run the flow as expected:

>>> result = leonardo_dicaprio("leo")

However, when i try to create the deployment i get a:

ImportError: cannot import name 'hello_world' from 'test' (/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.10/3.10.4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/test/__init__.py)

So basically, my question is: how do i import functions from local python-files in a flow? (Let me know if this isn’t the right place for this type of questions!)

Nice, great to see this talk inspired you to try Prefect! This is a great question for this channel! I think one solution worth exploring is adding your custom directory to the Python path so that Python and prefect can find it

Ah, thanks! That was easy.. There are probably more robusts way of doing it, but if anyone else runs in to this i just solved it by running:

PYTHONPATH='.' prefect deployment create leo_deployment.py
