Import local files into the deployed models

[iamlrk]

Issue:

I am unable to import local function/classes into the method.

Details:

Say, I have a file say

some_file.py

def function(x):
    return x*x

Now I am trying to import this file into the following file (They are located in the same folder):

file_to_be_deployed.py

def deploy_function(x):
    from some_file import function # This is what I want to do
    return function(x)

client.deploy('deploy_function',
              deploy_function,
              'Squares'
              'x',
              override=True
              )

But This is throwing an error

Responding with status=500, message="Error querying function 'deploy_function'", info="{'uri': 'deploy_function', 'error': "ModuleNotFoundError : No module named 'some_file.py'", 'type': 'QueryFailed'}"

What I Tried:

So, I tried deploying the some_file.py onto the server, even then I got the same issue as above.
I looked up solutions for this, but none of them used another file as an import.

So, for now, I am writing the function(x) in every file I need it. But this defeats the purpose of me having a separate file for it.

file_to_be_deployed.py

def function(x):
    return x*x # This is what I am doing now

def deploy_function(x):
    return function(x)

client.deploy('deploy_function',
              deploy_function,
              'Squares'
              'x',
              override=True
              )

What can I do to achieve it?
