Steven had the nicest workaround (with the location = __import__
('__main__').__file__ trick), but none of them solve the problem of
the OP: organization of runnable scripts. So far it's been required to
place all runnable scripts directly above any used packages. The
workaround that Gabriel has been touting requires this too.
[snip]Wha? "Place all runnable scripts directly above any used packages?" I must have missed something major in this thread. The only thing necessary is to have the package being imported to be somewhere in PYTHONPATH.
