Importing a file from a Python package in to a directory

Question

I'm building a Python package and came across this situation. Here's the project structure :

my-package/
      examples/
           example.py
      my-package/
           __init__.py
           basic.py
           main.py

From the above project structure we can see that my-package is a package while examples is just a directory. Here what would be the best way to import basic.py in example.py .

from my-package import basic in example.py would throw No module named ... .

Answer 1

您可以做的一件事是在my-package下添加一个__init__.py文件，以便my-package成为包目录，以便可以将其中的模块导入到该文件中。

Answer 2

can you try creating an __init__.py under the main directory, and let me know about the results?

__init__.py :

import my-package.basic as basic

example.py :

from .. import basic

the final directory structure should be like:

my-package/
      __init__.py
      examples/
           example.py
      my-package/
           __init__.py
           basic.py
           main.py
