parentimport 0.0.1
Parent Import
Unfortunately, importing from parent directory is problematic in Python.
This package makes it easier to import from parent directory.
Install
pip install parent_import
Example Usage:
file structure:
project_name/
dir1/
importer.py
dir2/
dir3/
module_to_import.py
module_to_import.py:
print("Module Imported")
def method1():
print("Hello World")
importer.py:
from parent_import import parentdir
module = parentdir.dir2.dir3.module_to_import
# Output: "Module Imported"
module.method1()
# Output: "Hello World"
Note: Accesing parent of parent is also possible as follows:
from parent_import import parentdir
module = parentdir.parentdir.another_dir.module_to_import
Another Usage - Import From Parent Directory:
from parent_import import add_ancestor_dir_to_path
add_ancestor_dir_to_path(level=1)
import dir2.dir3.module_to_import
Another Usage - Import From Parent of Parent Directory:
from parent_import import add_ancestor_dir_to_path
add_ancestor_dir_to_path(level=2)
import another_dir.module_to_import
TODO
Get rid of sys.path.insert(0, self.dir_path) statements in order to speed up module search. (possible?)
Override or extend import statement to use the Pythonic syntax for importing from parent directory. (possible?)
