parent-import 0.0.1

Description:

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?)
