Is it possible to use two Python packages with the same name?

Question

I have a question about imports. The question might seem a bit contrived, but its purpose is to explore the limitations of using absolute imports for all imports in a packa

Answer 1

Actually, you should use namespaces (packages) to separate properly what modules you want to end up using. In your above code.

/pkg1
 mod1 - can just import mod2
 mod2.py
 __init__.py

/pkg2
 mod1 - can just import mod2
 mod2.py
 __init__.py

And at rest of the places you should do import pkg1.mod1 or import pkg2.mod1 as desirable.
