Interesting. I was wondering about the opposit: being in the parent dir, how can I run a module from a package. (the current behavior when running python dir_name\module.py is to consider the dir_name the current dir and this breaks all imports). I am pretty sure this is answered somewhere, but I must confess that so far I haven't been able to find it :-(.
