Question

This is my file structure:

annotations
    Helper.py
    annotations.py
test
    HelloWorld.py

This is HelloWorld.py, a simple HelloWorld class:

from annotations.annotations import annie

class HelloWorld:
    @annie.mydecorate
    def something():
        echo 'Hello World'

And within annotations.py, I’m just declaring some simple decorators:

from annotations.Helper import Helper

class annie:
    @staticmethod
    def mydecorate(func):
        Helper.prepare()
        print func.__name__

Here I get an error saying No such module: Helper. I guess this is happening when the module HelloWorld is being loaded, it is loading the annotations module, but the function is being called during the module being loaded at which time the Helper module is not loaded. I’m not sure how correct I am, but I am just looking for a solution here.

Is the problem something else? Can I import modules like I am doing in a file which declares decorators? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In annotations.py, try:

import Helper

or (relative imports, Python 2.5 and up)

from . import Helper
