Import module from subfolder

There's no need to mess with your PYTHONPATH or sys.path here.

To properly use absolute imports in a package you should include the "root" packagename as well, e.g.:

from dirFoo.dirFoo1.foo1 import Foo1from dirFoo.dirFoo2.foo2 import Foo2

Or you can use relative imports:

from .dirfoo1.foo1 import Foo1from .dirfoo2.foo2 import Foo2

Just to notify here. (from a newbee, keviv22)

Never and ever for the sake of your own good, name the folders or files with symbols like "-" or "_". If you did so, you may face few issues. like mine, say, though your command for importing is correct, you wont be able to successfully import the desired files which are available inside such named folders.

Invalid Folder namings as follows:

• Generic-Classes-Folder
• Generic_Classes_Folder

valid Folder namings for above:

• GenericClassesFolder or Genericclassesfolder or genericClassesFolder (or like this without any spaces or special symbols among the words)

What mistake I did:

consider the file structure.

Parent   . __init__.py   . Setup     .. __init__.py     .. Generic-Class-Folder        ... __init__.py        ... targetClass.py   . Check     .. __init__.py     .. testFile.py

What I wanted to do?

• from testFile.py, I wanted to import the 'targetClass.py' file inside the Generic-Class-Folder file to use the function named "functionExecute" in 'targetClass.py' file

What command I did?

• from 'testFile.py', wrote command, from Core.Generic-Class-Folder.targetClass import functionExecute
• Got errors like SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Tried many searches and viewed many stackoverflow questions and unable to decide what went wrong. I cross checked my files multiple times, i used __init__.py file, inserted environment path and hugely worried what went wrong......

And after a long long long time, i figured this out while talking with a friend of mine. I am little stupid to use such naming conventions. I should never use space or special symbols to define a name for any folder or file. So, this is what I wanted to convey. Have a good day!

(sorry for the huge post over this... just letting my frustrations go.... :) Thanks!)

Set your PYTHONPATH environment variable. For example like this PYTHONPATH=.:.. (for *nix family).

Also you can manually add your current directory (src in your case) to pythonpath:

import osimport syssys.path.insert(0, os.getcwd())
