External file loading problem with pdpipe import

[fedorkobak]

Will start with example. I create test.py file in some dir, it may looks like this:

from sys import path
import pdpipe

path.append("<path to external folder>/some_external_folder")
import temp

In ".../some_external_folder" i have added temp.py file, which contains 'hello world' printing. When I try to run first file i have a error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<first file folder path>/test.py", line 6, in <module>
    import temp
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'temp'

But when i rem import pdpipe program starts. What can cause this behavior and how to correct it?

After a while I noticed that the error disappears if I put from sys import path below import pdpipe. Looks like pdpipe doing something wrong with sys.

Does the same code as I showed at the message below starts on your environment?

Sorry, right you are! I can get it to reproduce.

Let me investigate and I'll find the way I'm abusing sys. Sorry! :)

In the meanwhile, this works:

from sys import path
path.append("/Users/user/temp_folder/")
import pdpipe
import temp

I suggest you move to work like this for now, as I'm using sys in a very specific way which I'm still not sure of its effects, and it is crucial for the packge's API.
