[Python] Python - failed to import external python program under different folder

I have a web-based Python application using Flask and a Python application, tradingBot. I copied my tradingBot application to a Web-based application under a different directory so I can call the tradingBot application. the directory structure like below:

• myTradingBot
  • apps
    • home
      • routes.py
    • static
      • css
      • js
    • template
      • home
        • dashboard.html
        • tradingDemo.html
    • autoTrade <== want to import this package to routes.py
      • bot.py
      • tradelib.py

I have tried the following in the route.py file with no success

try:
from apps.home import blueprint
import pyasx.data.companies

import pandas as pd
import plotly
import os
import sys
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath("/myTradingBot/apps/autoTrade/"))
import bot

print("ALl modules Loaded ")
except Exception as e:
print("Error : {} ".format(e))

@blueprint.route("/stock-movement", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def stockMovement():ry:

companyInfo = pyasx.data.companies.get_company_info(company_share_code)
bot.tradeBotStart()


It return an error stating that: bot is undefined.

Note: in my bot.py, i have alredy commented out the protected main

def tradeBotStart

print("start - TradeBotStart")
api = tradeapi.REST(gvars.API_KEY, gvars.API_SECRET_KEY, api_version='v2')


#if __name__ == '__main__':
# main()
# #main(sys.argv[1:])


Please advise
