Question

So I have a python package which contains a number of .py files in it.

my_python_package
         |
         |________ __init__.py
         |________ quickstart.py

In my quickstart.py file, I want to reference my_python_package; which I can obviously do so by writing

import my_python_package

Is there a better way I can reference my_python_package without explicitly importing it by name?

Answer 1

Not exactly, but you can reference things inside the package using relative imports with the dot syntax, e.g.

from . import someOtherModule
from . import SomeClass
