Import Module from Subfolder

Import module from subfolder

There's no need to mess with your PYTHONPATH or sys.path here.

To properly use absolute imports in a package you should include the "root" packagename as well, e.g.:

from dirFoo.dirFoo1.foo1 import Foo1
from dirFoo.dirFoo2.foo2 import Foo2

Or you can use relative imports:

from .dirfoo1.foo1 import Foo1
from .dirfoo2.foo2 import Foo2

The reason for this error is that types is already a name used by Python for the standard library.

Rename your folder from types to something else.

In addition, you will probably have to change your imports to contain the full path, and execute it inside of the folder containing flowscanner

from flowscanner.types.Flow import Flow

Import a file from a subdirectory?

ModuleNotFoundError when importing local module from sub folder in Python

You have to understand how Python finds the modules and packages when using import.

When you execute a python code, the folder in which this file is will be added to the PYTHONPATH which is the list of all the places where python will look for your packages and modules.

When you call caller1.py, it works because helper.py is in the same folder but it does not work for caller2.py because python does not find it in the same folder nor the other path in PYTHONPATH.

You have three options:

• call caller2.py from a script in the same folder as helper
• add the folder containing helper.py in the PYTHONPATH (not recommended)
• make your code into a package that you can pip install -e, this way python will be able to find your modules as they will be install in the site-packages of your python environment (most complex but cleanest solution)

Import a module from a subfolder and use files from that subfolder with the module

Something like:

import json
import os

configfile_path = os.path.join(
        os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)),
        "config.json"
)
json.load(open(configfile_path, "r"))

How to import a module from a subfolder in python3 (with empty __init__.py)

Let's suppose we have this folders/files architecture:

test
├── callfoo.py
└── folder
    ├── __init__.py

1 directory, 3 files

callfoo.py:

from folder.submodule import foo

def main():
    foo()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

submodule.py:

$ python3 callfoo.py

Output:

> foo in submodule

Can't import subfolders from python module on GitHub

In the setup.py you have to include the subfolder in the packages as well. So, in setup.py instead of:

packages=['package_folder']

You have to do:

packages=['package_folder', 'package_folder/subfolder1']
