Question

Ok yes it is a very silly question, but just that I am getting a little confused.
I have a file structure which looks like this:-

-Mainapplication
   -models.py
-Helpingmodules
   -Folder1
     -module1.py

Now I have to import models into module1. So in module1.py I just did:-

from Mainapplication import models 

Now this does work fine, but I get a feeling that it might be wrong. Can someone please let me know if this is the correct way.

Answer 1

There’s nothing wrong with the import, but if the names of your packages are accurate, this looks like a design flaw in that you’re destroying code reusability; I’d expect a package of “helping modules” to be independent of the application they’re helping (although in the case the package name is so vague that I could be way off about their purpose.)
