Can anyone explain python’s relative imports? [duplicate]

by

You are importing from package “sub”. start.py is not itself in a package even if there is a __init__.py present.

You would need to start your program from one directory over parent.py:

./start.py

./pkg/__init__.py
./pkg/parent.py
./pkg/sub/__init__.py
./pkg/sub/relative.py

With start.py:

import pkg.sub.relative

Now pkg is the top level package and your relative import should work.

If you want to stick with your current layout you can just use import parent. Because you use start.py to launch your interpreter, the directory where start.py is located is in your python path. parent.py lives there as a separate module.

You can also safely delete the top level __init__.py, if you don’t import anything into a script further up the directory tree.
