However, C++ != Python. Regardless whether or not you can "make it work", translating idioms from one language to another is often suboptimal. That may not be the case here, but it bears keeping in mind. >> Example: >> \ App >> | main.py >> +--\subpack1 >> | | __init__.py >> | | module1.py >> | >> +--\subpack2 >> | | __init__.py >> | | module2.py >> Module1 needs to access functionality in Module2. >> #module1.py >> from ..subpack2 import module2 >> Seems reasonable to me... but it just does not work and I was so >> liking Python. :( You might try removing a dot from your import statement. Python is also not Unix.
