To import a custom .py file in Python, you need to place the custom .py file in the same directory as the main program, and then use the import statement to import the file. For example, if the custom .py file is named my_module.py, you can use the following code to import the file:

import my_module

Then you can use the functions, classes, or variables defined in my_module. If your custom .py file is located in the parent directory of the main program, you can import that file using relative imports. For example, if the custom .py file is named my_module.py and is located in the parent directory of the main program, you can import the file using the following code:

from .. import my_module
