Python relative-import script two levels up

Question

I\'ve been struggling with imports in my package for the last hour.

I\'ve got a directory structure like so:

main_package
 |
 | __init__.py
 | folder         


        

Answer 1

To access script_c and script_b from script_a, you would use:

from ...folder_3 import script_c
from . import script_b

Or if you use python3, you can import script_b from script_a by just using:

import script_b

However, you should probably use absolute imports:

from mypackage.folder_3 import script_c
from mypackage.folder1.folder2 import script_b
