I wrote a simple set of python3 files for emulating a small set of mongodb
features on a 32 bit platform. I fired up PyCharm and put together a directory
that looked like:
minu/
client.py
database.py
collection.py
test_client.py
test_database.py
test_client.py
My imports are simple. For example, client.py has the following at the top:
from collection import Collection
Basically, client has a Client class, collection has a Collection class, and
database has a Database class. Not too tough.
As long as I cd into the minu directory, I can fire up a python3 interpreter
and do things like:
>>> from client import Client
>>> c = Client(pathstring='something’)
And everything just works. I can run the test_files as well, which use the same
sorts of imports.
I'd like to modularize this, so I can use it another project by just dropping
the minu directory alongside my application's .py files and just have
everything work. E.g.
SomeDirectory/
application.py
minu/
…
and application.py does something like:
from minu.client import Client
When I try this though, and am running python3 from another directory, the
local imports don't work. I placed an empty init.py in the minu directory. That
made it so I could import minu. But the others broke. I tried using things like
from .collection import Collection #added the dot
but then I can't run things in the original directory anymore, like I could
before. What is the simple/right way to do this?
I have looked around a bit with Dr. Google, but none of the examples really
clarify this well (at least, for me), feel free to point out the one I missed.
