python - No module named using sys.path.append -

i'm trying import models django project project. found 2 solutions: first using os.environ['pythonpath'] , second using sys.path.append(). project structure:

-project1(django project)
 - mysite
     - settings.py
     - ...
  - app1
    - models.py
    - ...

project2(no django project)
  - test
     - dog.py

and in dog.py file:

import sys import os  sys.path.append("/home/jack/workspace/project1/mysite") os.environ['django_settings_module'] ="mysite.settings" app1 import models 

but console show me:

from app1 import models importerror: no module named app1 

from drawing, app1 sibling mysite—that is, it's in /home/jack/workspace/project1/app1/, not /home/jack/workspace/project1/mysite/app1/.

so, sys.path.append("/home/jack/workspace/project1/mysite") isn't going good; need `sys.path.append("/home/jack/workspace/project1/")'.
