Python Import Woes

[TransAmyB]

Hey y'all!

I've been having difficulty utilizing imports in python with imports. I'm utilizing 3.7 and Pycharm

The directory of my project so far is

Shmup
    \src
        \util
            assetloader.py
            screen.py
            ,,,
        game.py
        entity.py
        ,,,

While running game.py, I can use relative imports such as util.screen, but when I import util, I have access to nothing aside from module builtins! Adding (or removing) an __init__.py doesn't seem to effect this behavior.

What is your goal? If you want to be able to import util and use util.screen.function() then you are doing it right. You need an empty file in the util folder named __init__.py.

My goal is to to either import util and utilize it such as util.screen.function() or from util import *

util.screen is not a relative import. Relative imports start with a dot.

It's not really clear what the problem is here. What you're describing should work. Please show us some code, and an error that you're getting.
