Import method in folder with reserved word

Question

I have the following file structure:

root
|
folder1 -> lambda -> lambda.py -> myMethod()
|
test-> lambda_test -> test_lambda.py

I would like to import lambda.myMethod() into my test.lambda.py file for testing but python understandably complains about lambda being a keyword.

I tried various combos with importlib without much luck.

Here's your directory structure:

folder1/lambda/__init__.py
               lambda.py
test/lambda_test/test_lambda.py

And the contents of each file:

# folder1/lambda/__init__.py
import importlib
lambda_module = importlib.import_module('lambda.lambda')

# folder1/lambda/lambda.py
def hello_world():
    print("hello world")

# test/lambda_test/test_lambda.py
import importlib
import sys

sys.path.append("../../folder1")
my_lambda_import = importlib.import_module("lambda")

my_lambda_import.lambda_module.hello_world()
