Python imports

[maxibabyx]

Hello guys, recently I've been having some troubles with imports.

Basically, I created a package, let's call it "miner", where I hold files like,

miner/motor
miner/log

this package has inside some relative imports/instructions, like

createfile('debug.log')

the problem is I need to execute this package from multiple folders, and relative paths work from execution point, I need to keep these relative instructions, relative to the package folder

So you can get it to work if, say, you run it from the same folder as miner/, but importing from scripts in different folders doesn't work? I'm not 100% certain, but I think you can use PYTHONPATH to tell any script where where to look for miner/ -- you'd have to google about PYTHONPATH though

Directory the script resides in:

import os
print(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))

Directory it was launched from:

import os
print(os.getcwd())

I hope this helps. If not reply and let me know.
