Hi @malabika_guha_wf 

Does this help?

I tried this but doesn't work for me. I have imported the .py file using the above steps. After that I was trying to import that as "import scriptfile". but it is giving me error 

No module named 'scriptfile'

Try and place the package in the following folder path:

C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_vEnv\Lib\site-packages

This should allow your import to hopefully find the module. Let me know if this doesn't work. If this solution works for you, please mark this post as a solution! Thank You!
