title: maya python call function from another py file
body: <p>I have a python script saved to file. </p>
  
  <p>test1.py</p>
  
  <pre><code>import maya.cmds as cmds
  import sys
  
  def process():
      print 'working'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to run the function from this script inside another python script, inside maya. I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import sys
  sys.path.append('J:\scripts\src\maya')
  
  from test1 import process
  
  test1.process()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it gives me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from test1 import process
  # Error: ImportError: file &lt;maya console&gt; line 4: cannot import name process # 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong here?</p>
  
  <p>('import test1' gives no error, so the path is correct).</p>
