Python ImportError - packages

Question

I'm fairly new to Python (mostly a Java / C developer) and am having a bit of import problems. I've read on many other posts here that to declare a package one must add __init__.py to the respective folder.

So here is what my structure looks like:

app/ src/ __init__.py resumeParser.py tests/ test_resumeParser.py

So inside test_resumeParser.py I have the following line:

from src.resumeParser import *

and this is the line cauing me an ImportError: no module named 'src'

I'd appreciate any way to get around this issue. Thanks!

Add the app directory path to the PYTHONPATH when run the test so that src can be imported:

PYTHONPATH=/path/to/app python ....
