Import class outside of MMDetection #11508

Hi! Can I import a class of a model from a directory outside of the MMDetection directory without making it a package?

To make a class importable and buildable by config definition MMEngine has an interface to define custom imports.

The custom code must be in path. You may find making a small package the easiest way to put the code in path, but there are work arounds.

The K-Net codebase is a nice example of using mim to train and placing the code in path by adjusting the env variable in the command.
