Hello,
I've posted about this before, but after reading the docs, I have a
few more questions
here are the docs: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html#packages
here is my previous post:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/3a352159f6828eb9/cda8395d36827d20
I've setup some directories for the sound package, exactly as shown in
the examples in the docs. In the surround file I put the lines
from . import echo
from .. import formats
from ..filters import equalizer
again, exactly as in the docs. When I run surround.py, I get the
following result:
C:\sound\effects>python surround.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "surround.py", line 1, in <module>
from . import echo
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package
C:\sound\effects>
Why doesn't this work as suggested in the docs. The only way that I
found to get around this is to add directories to the path, but I
can't help but think that it shouldn't be necessary to modify the path
for packages to work.
Just to be sure, here are directory listings showing the I have the
__init__.py files in place
C:\sound\effects>dir
