Is there a way to include Python code into Python SOPs as a block of c

[magneto]

I am looking for a way to insert the contents of a python file into a Python SOP, so I can have the actual SOP code in an external file while the SOP code only loads it. For instance something like this:

include "$OperatorTypeName.py"

This is more of a compile-time thing where it literally copy/pastes the contents of the file.

Is this possible?

Can you not just import the external module and either let it run right away or just call a function?

import mymodule 
mymodule.cookMySop(hou.pwd())

Thanks Graham, that would work too. Although the less code I have in the SOP, the better

Also in the include method, I wouldn't have to look at the internal SOP code or change it ever again, hence me also using the $HDA_NAME.
