ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Question

Can't seem to find a straightforward answer to this question. All I want to know is how to import the file I saved under my \scripts directory.

I added the path to sys.path...

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "C:\\my_Stuff\\data_science\\scripts")

I added a __init__.py file under my \scripts directory, which is the same directory where my tree.py file is.

I run...

import tree as tr

...but am still getting the error.

Answer 1

My answer is probably late but the following is working for me.

Let's say i have "my_file.py" in the directory "folder":

import sys
sys.path.append('path\\to\\folder')

from my_file import ...

Hope this can help!
