hello,
I can't find any good documentation or examples of packages,
so I'm not sure if this is good / correct way, although it seems to work.
root
/ dir1
/ file1.py
/ general.py
/ dir2
/ file2.py
/ general_root.py
Now I want to be able to use functions of file2 in file1,
and vice-versa.
In practice the directory structure is more complex and nested more deeply,
and basically I want all modules to be reachable by all other modules.
==== file1.py ====
import general
import file2
print file2.var
==== file2.py ====
var = 33
==== general.py ====
dir = '../dir'
import sys
if not ( dir in sys.path ) :
sys.path.append ( dir )
For a more complex directory structure this is not doable.
So another approach could be
==== file1.py ====
import general
import file2
print file2.var
==== file2.py ====
var = 33
==== general.py ==== is doesn't need to know about other branches, only
of the root
dir = '../'
import sys
if not ( dir in sys.path ) :
sys.path.append ( dir )
import general_root
==== general_root.py ==== this can be fully automated
dir = '../dir2/'
import sys
if not ( dir in sys.path ) :
sys.path.append ( dir )
And for the last thought I had:
why not use __init__.py instead of the general.py procedure ??
Maybe I should also set the current working directory to the root or to
the python file I launch ??
please enlighten me.
thanks,
Stef Mientki
