Module imports with and without setuptools build

Question

I want to make my python app distributable but when I run it from command line from project folder all works well. After the packaging, there is a problem with module import.

All modules exists in package tlen . In my app I use eg. from Sender import Sender where Sender is tlen/Sender.py module.

All works well when I running tlen/main.py .

Problem exists when I try do package by sudo python setup.py install and run command tlen . Then I receive:

File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tlen-1.0-py3.7.egg/tlen/main.py", line 3, in <module>ModuleNotFoundError: Nomodule named 'Sender'

Whole project: https://github.com/tloszabno/tl_en

My setup.py file:

setuptools.setup(
name='tlen',
version='1.0',
author='Tomasz Łoś',
author_email='tloszabno@gmail.com',
description='A tool to learn foreign language',
packages=["tlen"],
entry_points={
    'console_scripts': [
        'tlen = tlen.main:main'
    ]
},
classifiers=[
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 3',
    'License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License',
    'Operating System :: OS Independent',
],
)

What I doing wrong with import s?

Answer 1

Hah I've solved it!

Just added app.py file to main dir (.. of tlen) with content:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from tlen import main as app
def main():
    app.main()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

then setup.py:

import setuptools
setuptools.setup(
name='tlen',
version='1.0',
author='Tomasz Łoś',
author_email='tloszabno@gmail.com',
description='A tool to learn foreign language',
packages=["tlen"],
entry_points={
    'console_scripts': [
        'tlen = app:main'
    ]
},
classifiers=[
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 3',
    'License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License',
    'Operating System :: OS Independent',
],
scripts=[
        'app.py',
       ]
