Import a class in a module that lives in different directory

I need some help as I try to import a class which lives in x.py into y.py.

Both app_A1 and app_B1 contain an empty __init__.py and so does the My_code_folder.

enter image description here

I have tried a few ways to import it such as:

import sys

# first
sys.path.append('../')
from lab_A.models_A.app_A1 import x

# second
sys.path.append('../')
from .lab_A.models_A.app_A1 import x

# third
sys.path.append('../')
from Users.User_ME.My_code_folder.lab_A.models_A.app_A1 import x

# fourth
sys.path.insert(1, 'Users/User_ME/My_code_folder/lab_A/models_A/app_A1')
from app_A1 import x

and I get ModuleNotFoundError or ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package.

What am I doing wrong?

PS: I work in Spyder if it is a useful piece of information.

You can insert the files to you python path, but this depends on where you run the file (i.e. cd first in the directory or not).

import pathlib
this_path = pathlib.Path(__file__).parent # folder of y.py
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, this_path/../../../lab_A/models_A/app_A1)
import x.py
