I run Julia from a folder which contains a Python file called GramSchmidt.py which I wish to import from using PyCall. I proceed as follows:

```julia
using PyCall
GramSchmidt = pyimport("GramSchmidt")

```

I however get an error that says ModuleNotFoundError("No module named ‘GramSchmidt’ "). How should I proceed to be able to import from a file in my current directory with pyimport?

The is explained in the [PyCall README](https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl#troubleshooting).

Okay. Thanks. So the solution is

```julia
using PyCall
pushfirst!(pyimport("sys")."path", "");
GramSchmidt = pyimport("GramSchmidt");

```
