Day 10 Level 3 Exercise 3

[BVenetta]

Go to the data folder and use the countries_data.py file.

This is the level 3 exercise 3 for day 10. I am struggling with how exactly i import and use the list? dictionary? to be able to extract stuff so that i can actually do the exercises. Could someone be able to help with this? I managed to do it for country.py by doing the following and I tried the same for countries_data.py but it doesnt seem to work.

import sys
import os

# Determine the current and parent directory paths
current_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
parent_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(current_dir, os.pardir))

# Add the parent directory to sys.path
sys.path.append(parent_dir)

from data.countries import countries```

I ran into this same issue!

I was able to tweak a Stack Overflow post + some code from the 'modules' day (day 12) to get the following to work:

import countries_data
countries_data.countries[1]

Note though that I also needed to add countries = to the start of the first line of countries-data.py and change the dash in the filename to an underscore (i.e., countries_data.py).

Hope this helps!
