I have a kind of plugin system, with this layout:

- Python
-- SDK
-- Plugins
---- Plugin1
---- Plugin2

All 3 have a __init__.py file. I wonder if is possible to be able to do import SDK from any plugin (as if SDK was in the site-packages folder).

I'm in a situation where need to deploy, update, delete, add or change SDK files or any of the plugins under non-admin accounts, and wonder if I can get SDK in a clean way (I could sys.path.append in all plugins but I wonder if exist a better option).

I imagine that using this in the Plugins init coulkd work:

import sys
import os

ROOT_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'..'))

print ROOT_DIR
sys.path.append( ROOT_DIR )

But clearly is not executed this code (I imagine init was auto-magicalled executed in the load of the module :( )
