Yes! If you import appname from the appname.py, it will try to import
itself ! What I do right now is the following :
./scripts/appname
./appname/__init__.py
./appname/runner.py
And then in /scripts/appname (the executable) I put:
SCRIPTS_DIR = "scripts"
def _is_in_devel():
d = os.path.split(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))[1]
return d == SCRIPTS_DIR
if _is_in_devel():
d = os.path.split(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))[0]
sys.path.insert(0, d)
os.environ["PATH"] += ":%s" % (os.path.join(d, SCRIPTS_DIR))
from appname import runner
runner.run()
I for inspired by pitivi, which does that. (thanks Ed!) For the runner
thing, I got inspired from Twisted.
I am not saying this is perfect, but it works well with the limitations
of the packaging in importing mechanism in Python.
