Question

In order to keep my code clean and organized, I split my classes up into a bunch of different files and folders, here is what a typical project structure will look like for me:

> Project
    __init__.py
    main.py
    ui.py
    > lib
        foo.py
        bar.py

In my ui.py file, I usually define some sort of info function if the application is just a command line application. That usually looks something like this:

def info(message, level=1):
    if level == 1:
        token = "[+] "
    elif level == 2:
        token = "\t[-] "
    print token + str(message)

Now the question is, if I am doing a lot of the work in main.py, and have therefore created a ui object in it by importing it in, what is the best way then to use the same info function in foo.py or bar.py?

Answer 1

import project.ui or from project import ui should do the trick. Don’t tell anyone I told you about the second option. The parent directory of project needs to be on your python path.
