Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project in Databricks(version 13.3 LTS) and could use some help with importing external Python files as modules into my notebook. I’m aiming to organize my code better and reuse functions across different notebooks.

Could someone please provide detailed steps or best practices for this? Are there any specific configurations I should be aware of, or recommended file structures?

Here’s the structure I’m working with:

test/ ├── Code/ │ └── notebook └── utils/ └── utilities.py

I need to import functions from utilities.py to use them in my notebook. However, I’m encountering a "module not found" error when I try to do this.

Thanks for your assistance!
