Relative import of submodule

Question

In Python, how do I perform the equivalent of the following

import http.client

but using a relative import:

from . import http.client
import .http.client

For a package http in the current package? I want to then access the client module through it's parent name, http.client, as I would be able if I did the top level import.

Answer 1

I think that what you're looking for is this:

from ..http import client
