Asking for Help: How can I import a module from a sibling directory?

I am new to Python from Java background, I have following structure

/root
        /folder1
                Class1.py
                Class2.py
        /folder2
                Class3.py

I am in the folder2 and want to run class3.py but it need to import a module from Class1.py Could someone please help me?

Answer: I believe you just need to add folder1 to your path variable. Should be something along the lines of...

   1 import sys
   2 sys.path.append('/root/folder1')
   3 import Class1

If that doesn't work, look through the documentation for info on how the sys.path variable works -- I may just have the syntax slightly off
