Question

>>> from foo.bar import app
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named foo.bar

My directory structure:

In /foo:
    __init__.py
    bar.py

In /foo/tests:
    __init__.py
    testing.py

In /foo/tests/testing.py I need to import app from /foo/bar.py. I get the ImportError if I run the testing.py file.

I have checked sys.path and the /foo and /foo/tests folders are included.

Answer 1

If /foo is on sys.path, then you can import bar using import bar, so try changing the import line in testing.py to the following:

from bar import app

Alternatively, put the root folder on sys.path, which will allow you to import the module foo and its contents using import foo.XXX, from foo import XXX, or from foo.XXX import YYY.
