Morning Apologies I don't know the answer but went looking. This guide should answer the question. Didn't know it was so difficult to be honest. https://chrisyeh96.github.io/2017/08/08/definitive-guide-python-imports.html#example-directory-structure Then there was this rather long list of traps. http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python_concepts/import_traps.html Most guides say it was fixed in 3.3 but still seems quite confusing post 3.3 Cheers Sayth -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
