I am trying to call a function from a python file that is located outside the django project directory from views.py. I have tried importing the python file but running the django server says "no module named xxxx".
Tree structure is given below.

Project name here is "fireflash" and there is an app in that project named "detection_reports". There is another directory named "auto_flash" that has same location as "fireflash". What I want to do is to import test.py file from "auto_flash" in detection_reports.views and call a function from views. Importing like this "from auto_flash import test" throws error "no module named auto_flash".
