Python imports relative path

Question

I\'ve got a project where I would like to use some python classes located in other directories.

Example structure:

/dir
 +../subdirA
 +../subdirB
 +../my         


        

Answer 1

On dir structure as following:

/dir
 +../subdirA
 +../subdirB
 +../mydir

combining with linux command ln , we can make things a lot simpler:

1. cd dir/mydir
2. ln -s ../subdirA ./
3. ln -s ../subdirB ./

And, now if you want to import some_stuff from file: dir/subdirA/fileA.py into your file: dir/mydir/myfile.py, simply import like this:

from subdirA.fileA import some_stuff

And, the same applies to 'dir/subdirB'

What's More, this works for setup.py process, :)
