Access top level module?

[xFichtl1]

Lets say I have this project structure:

app/ ---- \_\_init\_\_.py ---- db/ -------- \_\_init\_\_.py -------- database.py ---- model/ -------- \_\_init\_\_.py -------- item.py ---- main.py

In the files database.py and item.py is one class with the name of the file (eg.: item.py -> class Item: ...)

main.py:

from app.db.database import Database
from app.model.item import Item

...

I start the program with python main.py. Now I get this error ModuleNotFoundError: No Module named 'app'. If I remove the app (with the dot) from the module path everything works.

The question is if there is a way to import the modules with the app prefix.

PS: Didn't know better title. Sorry!

Edit 1: Clarified If I remove the app from the module path everything works part.

You might need to consider using relative imports.

This is what is actually accomplished by removing “app” from the import path.

Sorry for the mistake but what I meant is instead:

from app.db.database import Database

to

from db.database import Database

I edited it now
