Can't get Python to import from a different folder
python, python-2.x
Solution
I believe you need to create a file called `__init__.py` in the Models directory so that python treats it as a module.
Then you can do:
from Models.user import User
You can include code in the `__init__.py` (for instance initialization code that a few different classes need) or leave it blank. But it must be there.
Problem
I can't seem to get Python to import a module in a subfolder. I get the error when I try to create an instance of the class from the imported module, but the import itself succeeds. Here is my directory structure: ``` Server -server.py -Models --user.py ``` Here's the contents of server.py: ``` from sys import path from os import getcwd path.append(getcwd() + "\\models") #Yes, i'm on windows print path import user u=user.User() #error on this line ``` And user.py: ``` class User(Entity): using_options(tablename='users') username = Field(String(15)) password = Field(String(64)) email = Field(String(50)) status = Field(Integer) created = Field(DateTime) ``` The error is: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'User'
