Question

I wanted to use full import names in my project (see this question). The problem described there has been solved and everything works fine (edit: if the script is launched with execfile) outside eclipse and pydev (running on windows), in ccps on linux (which has jython built in). However eclipse gives me the following error:

from Project.gui import gui
ImportError: No module named gui

while my project structure inlcudes the following (everything without .py is a folder):

Project
    __init__.py
    gui
        __init__.py
        gui.py
    Project.py

I launch Project.Project.py and get the above error.
print sys.path right before the critical import yields:

['****\\Root\\Project', '****\\Root', 
 *bunch of jars/jython libs*,
'__classpath__', '__pyclasspath__/']

I am running eclipse and PyDev.

Because \\Root\\Project is first in your path, it will look inside the Project folder first so from Project.gui sees Project.py, but then throws an error because there’s no gui.

You could temporarily put sys.path.insert(0,"****\\Root") in before the import just to check whether this is the case or not. But I’d take ****\\Root\\Project out of your PYTHON_PATH.

then you could do

from Project import Project

and

from Project.gui import gui
