I have the following project structure:

and I would like to be able to run my project from the command line using something like:

hotel-reservation> python hotel_reservation

However, when doing this I am receiving the following error:

ImportError: No module named 'hotel_reservation'

The code that I have in __main__.py is something as:

from hotel_reservation.utils import get_client_type_and_dates
from hotel_reservation.hotel import Hotel
from hotel_reservation.hotel_reservation_system import HotelReservationSystem


def main():
    # CODE
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I guess I am missing how to indicate python that hotel_reservation is a the parent directory, so how can I solve this?

Thanks in advance.

You need an `__init__.py` to make a directory into a module – jonrsharpe Nov 16 '15 at 11:41

@jonrsharpe, I just have to create the __init__.py inside hotel_resevation or do I have to include something there? – lmiguelvargasf Nov 16 '15 at 11:44

I have added `__init__.py` to `hotel-reservation`, `hotel_reservation`, and `tests`, but I am still getting the same error about not having that module. – lmiguelvargasf Nov 16 '15 at 11:50
I have also added `__all__ = ["hotel", "hotel_reservation_system", "utils"]` in the `__init__` file for hotel_reservation. – lmiguelvargasf Nov 16 '15 at 11:56
