Importing custom python module into scripted extension

Development

Hey all,
I have a custom python file asyncsocket.py that contains some code independent of 3d slicer. I am trying to import that module to use in a scripted widged by doing
import asyncsocket
howeveri get this
RuntimeError: qSlicerScriptedLoadableModule::setPythonSourc
apperently it is not a scripted loadable module. this is a generic python code that utilizes only core python function
asyncsocket.py is in the same directory as the slicer scripted widget

Thanks!

this was fixed by placing the custom python file in a subdirectory (eg. comm) of the scriptable module and using

example: from comm import asyncsock

in comm folder there is

__init__.py

which contains

from .asyncsock import *
