[Python-Dev] Another relative imports question (original) (raw)

Hi All,

The new explicit relative import syntax is great. I wanted to relatively import a module.

import .mymoduleinmypackage

...and got a SyntaxError in Python 2.6.

I guess I need to do:

from . import mymoduleinmypackage

...but it does feel weirdly asymetric that:

from .mymoduleinmypackage import something

...while:

import .mymoduleinmypackage mymoduleinmypackage.something

...does not.

cheers,

Chris
