I’ve created python modules but they are in different directories. 

/xml/xmlcreator.py
/tasklist/tasks.py

Here, tasks.py is trying to import xmlcreator but both are in different paths. One way to do it is include xmlcreator.py in the Pythonpath. But, considering that I’ll be publishing the code, this doesn’t seem the right way to go about it as suggested here. Thus, how do I include xmlcreator or rather any module that might be written by me which would be in various directories and sub directories?

    Are you going to publish both modules separately or together in one package?

    If the former, then you’ll probably want to have your users install your xml module (I’d call it something else 🙂 so that it is, by default, already on Python’s path, and declare it as a dependency of the tasklist module.

    If both are distributed as a bundle, then relative imports seem to be the best option, since you can control where the paths are relative to each other.
