Question

Say I have the following file structure:

app/   app.py   controllers/     __init__.py     project.py     plugin.py 

If app/controllers/project.py defines a class Project, app.py would import it like this:

from app.controllers.project import Project 

I’d like to just be able to do:

from app.controllers import Project 

How would this be done?

Answer 1

You need to put

from project import Project 

in controllers/__init__.py.

Note that when Absolute imports become the default (Python 2.7?), you will want to add a dot before the module name (to avoid collisions with a top-level model named project), i.e.,

from .project import Project
