Importing class from file in package

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,
I've two files in my package.
In the first file I want to inport a class which is declared in the
second file. How can do that without stating the absolute path to the
file, just the relative one?

Thanks,

Florian

Assuming you mean by "package" that you have a folder named, say,
"mypkg" and an __init__.py file in it (that last part is required
for it to be a package in Python), and files a.py and b.py, this
works just fine if you do nothing special:

file mypkg/a.py contains:

class A:
pass


file mypkg/b.py contains:

import a
print a.A()

If I run the interpreter in the folder above mypkg,
this works just fine:
<mypkg.a.A instance at 0x00AE8120>


So that leads me to think that either you didn't try this,
or I misunderstood the question...
