**Please help me in importing local python code directory within Julia.** I am analyzing astrophysical simulation data output from [Atheena++](https://www.athena-astro.app/). I am writing code in julia to plot data manipulated by python script. My code is 👇 : but i am still getting error.

```julia
using Interpolations, TensorOperations, DelimitedFiles, PythonCall
athinput=run("/home/raman/Pictures/MikiFor2to3/pyfiles/read_athinput.py")
runname='/'
inputfile=runname+'home/raman/Pictures/sane00.athinput'
datalist ="./home/raman/Pictures/sane00.athinput/"

```

I am getting error 👇

```julia

Your code is a mess.

1. The error you see `MethodError: no method matching run(::String)` tells you that you are using `run` wrong. The correct way to to use it is with: `run(`your-cmd-here`)` note the different quotation marks!
2. You are not using the output of run that you store in `athinput`. But `run` likely does not return what you expect it to anyways and I can’t really guess what you expect it to return since you didn’t provide any explanation or even the Python script. Perhaps you’ll want to `readchomp(`your-cmd-here`)` instead of `run`
3. This line `inputfile=runname+'home/raman/Pictures/sane00.athinput'` this pure Python code that snuck into your Julia script. In Julia `'a'` denotes a character not a string and thus `'more-than-one-char'` throws. Also string concatenation is `*` in Julia.
4. Later in this script you use the `file` variable which you did not define. Perhaps it should be replaced with `athinput`?

Please put at least some effort into your posts here! People helping you here do this on their own free time. So very low effort post like yours might just be ignored.

This certainly was the last answer you’ll get from me, if your post does not show any sign that you at least tried to solve your problem i.e. by reading the error message.

You cannot import Python files, only Python packages. Can you explain what you actually want to do? What is your goal? Execute Python scripts? Call Python functions? Instantiate Python classes? Or something else?

> Execute Python scripts

Yes, I want to execute python scripts within julia. I have simulation data with will be manipulated by lengthy python scripts 👇

```julia
    ~/Pi/MikiFor2to3/pyfiles  ls  ✔ 
athena_read.py fm_torus.pyc metric.py read_athinput.py read_data.pyc
athena_read.pyc __init__.py metric.pyc read_athinput.pyc unimesh.py
fm_torus.py __init__.pyc __pycache__ read_data.py unimesh.pyc

```

and then i will feed output to my julia scripts which will plot finally.  
I would like to convert all those python scripts in julia but it will take a lot of time, so i just want to use julia only at last stage of data analysis.

If you want to run the whole script and it has no direct interaction with Julia, you can simply run it via `run()` shell interaction. See: [Running External Programs · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/running-external-programs/)

Example:

```julia
julia> run(`python hello.py`)
Hello
Process(`python hello.py`, ProcessExited(0))

```

assuming a file `hello.py` exists in the current directory and Python is installed and in the search path.

I want to import `read_data()` function  
`dta=read_data(datafile,athinput)`  
from python script to julia script. This python function takes input data from other python scripts output.

Yes, I know. First you have to make sure you have the Python packages setup. In your case pyfiles is not on conda-forge so you must use `pip` via CondaPkg.jl as I pointed out above.

Then you might want you to load your Python file by using `pyexec` to `include` the Python file.

@mkitti I have modified `pyfiles` in my local directory. I don’t need to add official `pyfiles` as they would not work for me as i have to do some modifications. My local modified `pyfiles` is having extra `.py` files 👇

```julia

I’m sorry to repeat this, but this is still a Python problem. You did not learn how to _add your local package to an environment_ (conda being more relevant here) as suggested in the previous thread. Your `athinput=run("...")` line doesn’t even begin to resemble Python’s import statement or PythonCall’s `pyimport` wrapper, and it makes me suspect that you were just running .py files instead of importing packages at all. `pyexec` wraps Python’s exec, but I heavily recommend you don’t do such an unidiomatic practice to submodules of `pyfiles`, assuming you intended it to have a package structure. Please learn more about Python in the appropriate Python forums where you can expect many more knowledgeable Python users.

UPDATE:  
The code above might already work if the folder with your version of pyfiles is a subfolder of your Julia project.

You probably need to edit your CondaPkg.toml or figure out how to remove `pyexec` or whatever that is.

Thanks, I removed `pyexec` by using `conda rm pyexec`.  
But now on running code 👇

```julia
using Pkg, Interpolations, TensorOperations, DelimitedFiles, PythonCall, CondaPkg
Pkg.activate(".")
CondaPkg.add_pip("pyfiles", version="@./home/raman/Pictures/MikiFor2to3/pyfiles/")
athinput=run(`/home/raman/Pictures/MikiFor2to3/pyfiles/read_athinput.py`))
datafile ="./home/raman/Pictures/sane00.athinput/"

```

i am getting

Here you are trying to execute a Python script as another process. I do not think that is your intention.
