Even new versions allow relative imports only inside packages. Given a tree
$ tree
.
├── alpha
│ ├── beta
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ └── one.py
│ ├── gamma
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ └── two.py
│ └── __init__.py
└── elsewhere
├── __init__.py
└── three.py
You have to ensure that the *parent* of alpha is in sys.path. Then you can
refer from alpha/beta/one.py to alpha/gamma/two.py with the statement
# in file alpha/beta.one.py
from ..gamma import two
but as far as I know no combination of dots lets you refer to modules
outside the package (like elswhere/three.py in the example). You need an
absolute import for that.
