Importing python files

[ayush1999]

Suppose I have a main.py file and I want to call the functions inside this file from Julia. So, if the file is in the same directory, doing @pyimport main gives me an error:

julia> @pyimport hello
ERROR: PyError (ccall(@pysym(:PyImport_ImportModule), PyPtr, (Cstring,), name)) <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>
ModuleNotFoundError("No module named 'main'",)

Stacktrace:
[1] pyerr_check at /home/ayush99/.julia/v0.6/PyCall/src/exception.jl:56 [inlined]
[2] pyerr_check at /home/ayush99/.julia/v0.6/PyCall/src/exception.jl:61 [inlined]
[3] macro expansion at /home/ayush99/.julia/v0.6/PyCall/src/exception.jl:81 [inlined]
[4] pyimport(::String) at /home/ayush99/.julia/v0.6/PyCall/src/PyCall.jl:374

I tried other options too, but to no avail. How can I import this specific file?

Duplicate of #48. You just need to add the current directory to sys.path, as explained in that issue.
