i have an assignment from a book to practice implementing relative imports. it gave a very clear and easy to follow explanation, but my results are proving the instructions are wrong. here's what i have tried. my folder structure:
Project / __init__.py main.py Domestic / __init__.py players.py premier_leauge.py silverware.py Europe / __init__.py champions_league.py europa.py winners.py Internationals / __init__.py nations.py its easy to use the normal import method to import something further down the directory, but when trying to go up, nothing works. heres something weird. winner.py in the Europe directory, i used this code to try and import a class named Silverware in silverware.py 1 directory up: from ..silverware import Silverware heres my error mesages: ... ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package i can accept this and say i did something wrong, but.... i left the import statement even with the error. now my main.py in the 1st directory called Project. i imported winner.py. the file that got this error message. And by importing this file, i have access to silverware.py. i can access everything in this file through that old import statement: from ..silverware import Silverware so why is it this statement wont allow me to import silverware.py to winner.py directly, but still gives access to winner.py if winner.py is imported from a directory on the same level or further up from silverware.py? this is the exact code instructions my book gave me, why isn't it working for files futher down? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
