Overview

The alpha package mirrors the example given in https://stackoverflow.com/a/62191010 from Attempted relative import with no known parent package

Package structure:

/alpha
    __init__.py
    /beta
        __init__.py
        /delta
            __init__.py
            script.py
    /gamma
        __init__.py
        e1.py
        /epsilon
            __init__.py
            script.py
    /zeta
        __init__.py
        script.py

• If you have a module in delta called script.py
  • alpha > beta > delta > script.py
  • and want to call the e1 module
    • alpha > gamma > e1.py
  • you can import the e1 module into the script module inside delta using
    • from ...gamma import e1
  • NOTE that if you want to run this as a script, the following will NOT work:
    • python -m alpha/beta/delta/script.py
  • If you want to run this as a script, you need to call this using:
    • python -m alpha.beta.delta.script
