Question

I have a package like this

sound/
    __init__.py
   effects/
       __init__.py
       echo.py
   formats/
      __init__.py
     avi.py

inside avi.py i have import statement like this

from sound.effects import echo

this code throws No Module Named sound.effect error

From the pythondocs i understood that this is possible. And I am search through stackoverflow
and found related question and answers, but I couldn’t understand them.

Please help me to solve this.

Thanks,

Prawyn.

If you’re running avi.py from the formats folder, and don’t adjust your PYTHONPATH, Python won’t be able to find the effects package. Try running your code from outside the sounds directory, modifying your PYTHONPATH environment variable such that it includes the directory in which sound lives is part of thtat, or changing your PYTHONPATH at runtime (see e.g. this link).
