Relative import problems in Python 3

Question

Python imports drive me crazy (my experience with python imports sometime doesn\'t correspond at all to idiom \'Explicit is better than implicit\' :( ):

[app]
           


        

Answer 1

Make sure your package1 is a folder. Create a class in __init__.py -- say class1. Include your logic in a method under class1 -- say method1.

Now, write the following code -

from .package1 import class1
class1.method1()

This was my way of resolving it. To summarize, your root directory is . so write your import statement using . notations, e.g. from .package or from app.package.
