Question

Is there anyway I can import modules to a package level?

for example, consider the following package:

- conf
  - __init__.py
  - general.py

Now I have another package:

- conf2
  - __init__.py

I would like to be able to use import conf2.general. That means, somehow importing the general.py module to conf2 package.

---

EDIT:

I have added the following import to conf2/__init__.py:
from conf import general

Now, I can use from conf2 import general and it works fine. However, what I would like to achieve is import conf2.general. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Contents of conf2/__init__.py:

from conf import general

to demonstrate the extra info from the edit, also:

import conf.general

To demonstrate:

$ find .
.
./conf
./conf/__init__.py
./conf/general.py
./conf2
./conf2/__init__.py

>>> import conf2
>>> conf2.general
<module 'conf.general' from 'conf/general.pyc'>

again, to answer the edit:

>>> conf2.conf.general
<module 'conf.general' from 'conf/general.pyc'>
