I failed to import a module from sub directory in python. Below is my project structure.
./main.py
./sub
./sub/__init__.py
./sub/aname.py
when I run python main.py, I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 4, in <module>
import sub.aname
File "/Users/dev/python/demo/sub/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from aname import print_func
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aname'
I don't know it failed to load the module aname. Below is the source code:
main.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sub.aname
print_func('zz')
sub/__init__.py:
from aname import print_func
sub/aname.py:
def print_func( par ):
print ("Hello : ", par)
return
I am using python 3.6.0 on MacOS
There are several mistakes in your Python scripts.
Relative import
First, to do relative import, you must use a leading dots (see Guido's Decision about Relative Imports syntax).
In sub/__init__.py, replace:
from aname import print_func
with:
from .aname import print_func
Importing a function
To import a function from a given module you can use the from ... import ... statement.
In main.py, replace:
import sub.aname
with:
from sub import print_func
from sub import aname
aname.print_func('zz')
Probably the most elegant solution is to use relative imports in your submodule sub:
sub.__init__.py
from .aname import print_func
But you also need to import the print_func in main.py otherwise you'll get a NameError when you try to execute print_func:
main.py
from sub import print_func # or: from sub.aname import print_func
print_func('zz')

My directory looks like this
When I start directly with PyCharm it works.
But when I try to start the script with a commandline I get this error messsage
> python .\PossibilitiesPlotter.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\SwapMatrixPlotter\possibilitiesplotter\PossibilitiesPlotter.py", line 7, in <module>
from plotterresources.PlotterProps import PlotterProps
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotterresources'
This is how the import looks from my main class PossibilitesPlotter.py
import sys
sys.path.append("plotterresources/PlotterProps.py")
from csv import reader
from pathlib import Path
from plotterresources.PlotterProps import PlotterProps
from possibilitiesplotter.PossibilitiesGraph import PossibilitiesGraph
from possibilitiesplotter.PossibilitiesModel import PossibilitiesModel
class PossibilitiesPlotter:
As a workaround, add the following line to PossibilitesPlotter.py:
sys.path.append("../plotterresources/PlotterProps.py")
This will add the directory one level above the commandline pwd to the PATH variable. So this is always relative to the location of the calling script/shell.
Thus in general:
NEVER append to the PATH/PYTHONPATH variable from within modules. Instead restructure your module. For more details, take a look at the documentation on Packaging Python Projects
This question has been asked before. Even though I couldn't get an answer that solves this issue.
I have the following directory and subdirectories:
I have a function hello() in test1.py that I want to import in test2.py.
test1.py:
def hello():
print("hello")
test2.py:
import demoA.test1 as test1
test1.hello()
Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:/Users/hasli/Documents/Projects/test/demoB/test2.py", line 1, in <module>
import demoA.test1 as test1
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'demoA'
This is exactly as explained in https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/module-not-found-error-in-python-solved/ but I can't access hello()
I am using python 3: Python 3.8.9
You need to add demoA to the list of paths used for import.
import sys
sys.path.append('..')
import demoA.test1 as test1
test1.hello()
I have a question about my new python project. It is the first time that I use different folders for my project.
I have the following structure:
project
src
securityFunc
__init__.py
createCredentialsXML.py
main.py
I work in PyCharm environment.
After pressing Play i get the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\project\src\main.py", line 1, in <module>
from securityFunc import *
File "C:\project\src\securityFunc\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from createCredentialsXML import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'createCredentialsXML'
My main function looks like this:
from securityFunc import *
if __name__ == '__main__':
generate_key()
__init__.py:
from createCredentialsXML import *
createCredentialsXML.py:
def generate_key():
key = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(os.urandom(2048))
with open("../key/secret.key", "wb") as key_file:
key_file.write(key)
I tried using Path or sys.path to fix the problem. But it does not work.
Can you please tell me how to fix the problem?
Since you're doing a relative import, you need to add a . before your module name:
from .createCredentialsXML import *
The dot means the module is found in the same directory as the code importing the code.
You can read more about it here
createCredentialsXML.py works in the module securityFunc; you must specify the scope of the import. Using
from securityFunc.createCredentialsXML import *
in securityFunc.__init__.py should work.
I'm trying to use a function called start to set up my enviroment in python. The function imports os.
After I run the function and do the following
os.listdir(simdir+"main")
I get a error that says os not defined
code
>>> def setup ():
import os.path
import shutil
simdir="e:\\"
maindir="c:\\backup\\bitcois\\test exit\\"
>>> setup()
>>> os.listdir(simdir+"main")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#10>", line 1, in <module>
os.listdir(simdir+"main")
NameError: name 'os' is not defined
The import statement is scoped. When importing modules they are defined for the local namespace.
From the documentation:
Import statements are executed in two steps: (1) find a module, and initialize it if necessary; (2) define a name or names in the local namespace (of the scope where the import statement occurs). [...]
So in your case the os package is only defined within function setup.
You are getting this error because you are NOT importing the whole os library but just the os.path module. In this way, the other resources at the os library are not made available for your use.
In order to be able to use the os.listdir method, you need to either import it alongside the os.path like this:
>>> def setup ():
import os.path, os.listdir
import shutil
simdir="e:\\"
maindir="c:\\backup\\bitcois\\test exit\\"
or import the full library:
>>> def setup ():
import os
import shutil
simdir="e:\\"
maindir="c:\\backup\\bitcois\\test exit\\"
You can read more here:
https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html
try:
import os.path
import shutil
import glob
def setup ():
global simdir
simdir="e:\\"
maindir="c:\\backup\\bitcois\\test exit\\"
setup()
os.listdir(simdir+"main")
You need to return the paths and assign the returned values in the global scope. Also, import os too:
import os
def setup():
# retain existing code
return simdir, maindir
simdir, maindir = setup()
When you import os or do any sort of command within a function, the command's effect only last while that function itself is running. What you need to do is
import os
...Do your function and other code
This way, your import lasts for the whole program :).
my dir location,i am in a.py:
my_Project
|----blog
|-----__init__.py
|-----a.py
|-----blog.py
when i 'from blog import something' in a.py , it show error:
from blog import BaseRequestHandler
ImportError: cannot import name BaseRequestHandler
i think it import the blog folder,not the blog.py
so how to import the blog.py
updated
when i use 'blog.blog', it show this:
from blog.blog import BaseRequestHandler
ImportError: No module named blog
updated2
my sys.path is :

|-----b.py
a.py is :
c="ccc"
b.py is :
from a import c
print c
and when i execute b.py ,i show this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\zjm_code\b.py", line 2, in <module>
from a import c
ImportError: cannot import name c
When you are in a.py, import blog should import the local blog.py and nothing else. Quoting the docs:
modules are searched in the list of directories given by the variable sys.path which is initialized from the directory containing the input script
So my guess is that somehow, the name BaseRequestHandler is not defined in the file blog.py.
what happens when you:
import blog
Try outputting your sys.path, in order to make sure that you have the right dir to call the module from.
