I’ve been trying to use the `pyjulia` package to call some local julia package from python, but haven’t had any luck.

The following examples work (Interpolations is installed)

```julia
from julia import Base
from julia import Interpolations

```

but when I try to import a local package, it can’t find it:

```julia
from julia import LocalPackage

```

I have added that package;s parent directory to my `startup.jl` file, allowing me to call it from julia.

But how do I make sure that I can also call this package from Python?

Probably the easiest solution is to include your `startup.jl` file with

```python
from julia import Main
Main.include("PATH/TO/startup.jl")

```

before `from julia import LocalPackage`.

You can also look at how to use Pkg.jl and either `]dev` your package or use `Project.toml`.
