I find that fascinating. You haven't used packages because you don't
understand them, but you've used another technique that you *also*
don't understand well enough to generate a solution, and had to rely
on trial and error.
Packages are quite well documented. Since the alternative was trial-and-
error on something you also don't fully understand, why did you avoid
packages?
I want to have the possibility to import any file from any other file:
<quote from your other answer>
parrot/
+-- __init__.py
+-- feeding/
+-- __init__.py
+-- eating.py
+-- drinking.py
+-- fighting.py
+-- flying.py
+-- sleeping.py
+-- talking.py
import parrot # loads parrot/__init__.py
import parrot.talking # loads parrot/talking.py
from parrot import sleeping
import parrot.feeding
from parrot.feeding.eating import eat_cracker
</quote>
Instead of the above:
from sleeping import sleeping_in_a_bed
from eating import eat_cracker
anything wrong with that (knowing I've no redundancy) ?
With the package layout, you would just do:
from parrot.sleeping import sleeping_in_a_bed
from parrot.feeding.eating import eat_cracker
This is really much more straightforward than you are making it out to be.
