importing modules from higher level directory

Hi, Is it somehow possible to import modules from *.py files in a higher level directory? Intuitively I would do import ../module but that does not work. How does it work? Thanks! Nathan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: deprecated string module issue

Why the rudness Terry Jan Reedy? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? Or worse luck, no one on the other side to create a wrong side? As to your comment about Logilab's pylint. I'v seen a ticket similar to this from three months back. I assume they're not fixing it because if you review 'string

Re: deprecated string module issue

First up please don't top post. Second (although I'm sure Terry Reedy can speak for himself) said TJR has put more into Python than I've drunk pints of beer, and that's saying something, so you accusing him of being rude to me stinks!!! Please apologise or get off of this ng/ml. Disgusted.
