Question

I have a folder structure like so:

/mylib/
/mylib/__init__.py
/mylib/my_class.py
/mylib/tests/test_my_lib.py

In my test, I have:

from mylib import MyClass
import unittest

I’m getting:

  File "test_edgecast_mcc_client.py", line 1, in <module>
    from mylib import MyClass
ImportError: No module named mylib

Which, I think, makes sense because the import would be looking inside the tests directory for mylib when it should be looking in ../mylib?

Can anyone share some light on how to get the import to work properly?

Answer 1

I believe your tests package needs an __init__.py file too
