Python 3: module in same directory as script: "ImportError: No module named"
Sometimes, this does not work:
from . import xxx
Maybe someone will tell you to add init.py under the directory. It won't work for some special cases as well.
The most useful way would be to check the sys.path first with:
import sys
print(sys.path)
Then you can find where you should import from.
There is an another way as well:
import os
import sys
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname("__file__"), '..')))
or use insert function instead:
sys.path.insert(0, xxx)
These two ways are suitable for small project. I will recommend you choose the first one if your project is complex and huge.
The
makesoup.py
file is also located in theprocessors
subdirectory, which means any Python script near it should be able to find it, right?
No. This feature was changed in Python 3 and that syntax no longer works.
Change the import makesoup
to this:
from . import makesoup
Or to this:
from processors import makesoup
Both of these will make it impossible to run python processors/venues.py
directly, though you can still do python -m processors.venues
from your home directory.
