commons - the main idea and usage for import

[TheML9I]

Hi.

Could please someone explain what was the idea of commons folder usage? Properly, I mean how to import?.

Airflow has the init func prepare_syspath() that ensures that certain subfolders of AIRFLOW_HOME are on the classpath. That allows to import modules from folders like DAGS_FOLDER/third_party, PLUGINS_FOLDER/third_party.

For instance i have the next structure: ── module / │ ├── commons │ └── dags

What have to be specified for DAGS_FOLDER to be able to import modules from commons into DAG-files. Do I have to extend sys.path manually? If I keep this by default I will get a module import error.

I'd like to make it clear how to import modules from commons folders. Why commons dirs are on that project's structure level?
