Python3 Importing module/package from sibling directories

Question

Here is my code directory structure:

/root
-/proj1
--/module1.py
--/__init__.py
--/sub_proj1
---/module2.py
---/__init__.py
-/proj2
--/module3.py

If I want to import code from module2.py into module3.py I tried the following import statement:

from .proj1.sub_proj1 import *

but I am getting import error. Is thee anything I need to fix? I am not sure what I am doing wrong with relative imports.

Similar to this question:

You need an __init__.py in your root and both project folders

Also this should be your import statement:

from ..proj1.sub_proj1 import *

Thanks for your response. If I were to add the __init__.py and have another folder in root as "proj3" and don't want anything in there imported, do I do just make sure that there is no __init__.py inside "proj3"? – ozn Apr 24 '17 at 07:35
