To simplify, I think you just need to use models instead of modules folder.
Put the myfile.py in /models and you have access to any function, class or variable defined in there. You can keep your file in modules, but it will be a little more complicated, you will need to create a model file which imports the file from module. in models/importator.py myfile = local_import('/.../myfile') now, you can access myfile.myvar in any place you want.
