I also have a problem with relative import; I can't for the life of me
figure out how to use the damn thing. I think the main problem is with
getting Python to recognize the existence of a package. I have
S/
p.py
B/
b.py
W/
pyw/
u.py
ws.py
and I'd like to get u.py to import all the other 3 programs. I put
empty __init__.py files in all of the above directories (is this
necessary?), and even manually added the pathway (r'C:\Myname\S') to
sys.path, but when I execute
from S import p
in u.py Python gives "ImportError: No module named S". It says "No
module named X" for essentially any package reference, so I think it's
just not recognizing the directories as packages. The docs for
relative import make this sound much easier than it is.
Thanks in advance, I'm at my wit's end.
