title: How to import Python external files with Alexa Skill Kit SDK?
body: <p>I just want to import a class (named Question) from a Python file (questionsServer.py) that is inside the same folder as the lambda function (Skill Code/lambda).</p>
  <pre><code>/Skill Code/
  |__lambda
  |____lambda_function.py
  |____questionsServer.py
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I tried to do it the usual way using</p>
  <pre><code>from questionsServer import Question
  </code></pre>
  <p>It did not work. I have tried alternatives like:</p>
  <pre><code>from lambda.questionsServer import theClass
  from .questionsServer import Question
  from `questionsServer import Question`
  </code></pre>
  <p>But still doesn't work.</p>
  <p>Does anyone know how to properly do this?</p>
