Unpredictable `__file__` While Manually Importing Modules - A Potential Issue?

Ideas
2

Hi sandraC,
The easiest workaround may be,

def import_from(path)->"Return the module exists in the given path.":
+   path = pathlib.Path(path)
    mod_name = pathlib.Path(path).stem
    spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(mod_name, path)

You should also add,

+   spec.origin = path.parent.absolute()

to show repr(this_module) nicely.

cf. see also a similar topic.
