in my main.py, I need to import packages written by myself. But the /context/code dir does not have the execute permission, so my import always fails. Is there any solution?

Python does not require +x privileges to import other .py files.
Can you give me a Run ID I could look into?

I think I have correctly add the sys.path and also the **init**.py. In the local test, if I change the dir +x permission, It will yield the same error.

Your setup should already be correct without having to mess with the `sys.path`.
You have the following error:
```auto
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'REDACTED.data'
```
However, you didn’t submitted any `data/` directory in the `REDACTED/` directory. Hence the error.
If your package is available on PyPI, I can whitelist it.
I am not finding it however. Could you please send me the PyPI page via DM (if you want to keep it private) or here if it is fine sharing it?

I do have the `data` folder locally, but when I used `crunch push` to upload it, the folder wasn’t included. I thought folders named `data` might be automatically ignored, so I renamed it to `pydata` and tried again, but it still didn’t work.

I was able to reproduce it locally, the problem was a bad handling of forced ignored files.
Please upgrade the crunch-cli (`pip install --upgrade crunch-cli`) and try again. It should work fine now!
