I've been reading tons of questions related to this matter but none of the has help me so far. I'm currently using the Python click
library to execute scripts as commands.
The current command that I'm trying to execute is placed inside a Python Package which has a __main__.py
file, like the parent dir has. The current project structure is the following one.
/myproject
/foo_one
__init__.py
foo_one.py
/foo_two
__init__.py
foo_two.py
/foo_three
__init__.py
foo_three.py
/foo_four
__init__.py
foo_four.py
/foo_five
__init__.py
foo_five.py
/foo_six
__init__.py
foo_six.py
__init__.py
__main__.py
foo_seven.py
Whenever I try to run the __main__.py
script located in the project folder, the following error comes up.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '__main__.foo_two'; '__main__' is not a package
However, if I try to execute that same script from a folder above with the -m
option like this python3 myproject -m
, the following is shown up.
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
The __main__.py
has 2 imports like this... The __init__.py
is empty.
from .foo_two.foo_two import AClass, AnotherClass, OtherClass
from .foo_three.foo_three import AnotherClassMore
UPDATE: Correcting the syntax error in a previous command, while calling python -m myproject
gives me a ModuleNotFoundError
because of a module that isn't my responsibility, which is basically a library that is used in the project.
Hopefully, this will be of value to someone out there - I went through half a dozen stackoverflow posts trying to figure out relative imports similar to whats posted above here. I set up everything as suggested but I was still hitting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_module_name'
Since I was just developing locally and playing around, I hadn't created/run a setup.py
file. I also hadn't apparently set my PYTHONPATH
.
I realized that when I ran my code as I had been when the tests were in the same directory as the module, I couldn't find my module:
$ python3 test/my_module/module_test.py 2.4.0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test/my_module/module_test.py", line 6, in <module>
from my_module.module import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_module'
However, when I explicitly specified the path things started to work:
$ PYTHONPATH=. python3 test/my_module/module_test.py 2.4.0
...........
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 11 tests in 0.001s
OK
So, in the event that anyone has tried a few suggestions, believes their code is structured correctly and still finds themselves in a similar situation as myself try either of the following if you don't just add your export the current directory to your PYTHONPATH:
$ PYTHONPATH=. python3 test/my_module/module_test.py
PYTHONPATH=.
, create a setup.py
file with contents like the following and run python setup.py development
to add packages to the path:# setup.py from setuptools import setup, find_packages setup( name='sample', packages=find_packages() )
The correct syntax would be
python -m myproject
This should execute __main__
in the top-level package.
