Hey,  
I should chime-in since you referenced a topic I posted previously. In my case I have a custom library that was shared by two separate applications - a TCP/IP socket class. Let’s call it `sock.py`  
to use sock.py in a slicer scripted module I had to setup the directory structure as so

```auto
WidgetRootDir
 |
 | - slicerWidget.py
 | - subdirectory
      | - __init__.py
      | - sock.py

```

` __init__.py` contains

> from .sock import \*

And slicerWidget.py imports as so

> from subdirectory import sock

If you need to access another slicer module this is a clean way of doing so [Setting widget variable from --python-code on Slicer.exe start - #13 by talmazov](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/setting-widget-variable-from-python-code-on-slicer-exe-start/23908/13)

I hope this helps

~ Georgi
