Remove the directory containing the importing file from your sys.path. E. g. if you have $ tree . `-- alpha |-- __init__.py |-- beta | |-- __init__.py | `-- one.py `-- gamma |-- __init__.py `-- two.py only the parent of alpha should be in your sys.path. Then to import alpha/gamma/two.py from alpha/beta/one.py use from ..gamma import two Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
