    I would like to explain you the used way to resolve our latest problems with TC and Python.

    The problem is when we use scripts stored in a different root path. When the scripts are stored in subfolders, they can’t be found.

    We applied the “Centralizing Global Imports in a Shared Configuration File” for this link:

    Working with TestComplete Global Objects in Python 3.13 | TestComplete Documentation

    This global file, is important to create in the root path:

    After create the global file, the scripts stored in the root path don’t need a prefix to refer to the objects.

    The scripts stored in subfolders, need to use a prefix to refer to the objects:

                   import globals_tc as ag

                    ag.Aliases.Client…
                    ag.Log…
                    …

    Thanks,

Remove "tc" from "tc.Aliases.Client". Try this for example,

Unit1.py

import Unit2

def main():
    Unit2.datetime()

Unit2.py

from tc import aqDateTime
# or from tc import *

def datetime():
    return aqDateTime.Now()

If you have a big project, it is a pain to update. However, there's no way around this, as Python have made these changes.
