Relative imports in Python

Question

Hey all -- I am pulling my hair out with relative imports in Python. I\'ve read the documentation 30 times and numerous posts here on SO and other forums -- still doesn\'t

Answer 1

Nevermind, I solved it:

src/
    main.py
    mod/
        __init__.py
        components/
            __init__.py
            expander.py
            language_id.py
        utilities/
            __init__.py
            functions.py

main.py then refers to the subpackages as:

from mod.components.expander import *
from mod.utilities.functions import *

expander.py and language_id.py have access to functions.py with:

from ..utilities.functions import *

But the interesting thing is that I had a text file inside the components directory that expander.py uses. However, at runtime it couldn't locate the file even though it was in the same directory. I moved the text file to the same directory as main.py and it worked. Seems counter-intuitive.
