Discovery Scripting: how to save Discovery Scripting functions in modules?

  I am working on a series of Discovery scripting functions. Right now we are including those in every *.dscript session in order to reuse them for each application. Hence I wish to save them as a module at a path : C:\Work\modules\myColor.py. In this class I have one method which seeks to call some Discovery API
```
like part = GetRootPart().GetAllBodies()
> global name 'GetRootPart' is not defined
```
  The trouble I am facing is that these APIs are not recognized as the class is saved in C:\Work\modules . I am unable to save it in C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v251\Discovery\Library\IronPython\Lib due to IT admin policy . What is the workaround here? I can prove that the module is successfully imported in the *.dscript as by using a simple print("Hello") command in the function of my module.
  Is there anything I could do to help this? I can upload a .dscript and .the *.py module
