In Python, the sys.path variable plays a crucial role in module imports. By default, Python searches specific directories listed in sys.path when importing modules. But did you know you can manipulate this list to import modules from custom directories?


Consider this scenario: You have a directory /apple/orange/pear containing multiple Python modules, and you want to import all modules dynamically. Here's how you can achieve this:



import sys
import os
import importlib

# Add custom directory to sys.path
directory_path = '/apple/orange/pear' …
