How to fix “Attempted relative import in non-package” even with __init__.py

Question

I\'m trying to follow PEP 328, with the following directory structure:

pkg/
  __init__.py
  components/
    core.py
    __init__.py
  tests/
    core_test.py         


        

Answer 1

Here's one way which will piss off everyone but work pretty well. In tests run:

ln -s ../components components

Then just import components like you normally would.
