DotDot

Make it easy to import the modules in parent directories

If you want to solve ValueError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package, DotDot may be helpful for you.

Installation

If it can be installed and imported successfully, it should work correctly.

pip install dotdot

Quick Start

Consider a common project structure as following:

FooProject

    ├── foo

    │    ├── script.py

    │    └── util0.py

    └── util1.py

Now, script.py can import util1 by importing dotdot first. Like this:

import dotdot
import foo.util0
import util1

Moreover, you can import the modules in grandparent or even great grandparent directory by importing dotdotdot or dotdotdotdot first.

How it work

DotDot does this magic by changing sys.path[0] in import time.
