Importing method from another python class

Question

I was having some problem when trying to import method from another python class. I am following this guide. When I tried to run the attention.py, I am getting this error message:

File "D:\Desktop\tensorrec-master\examples\attention_example.py", line 8, in <module>
from test.datasets import get_movielens_100k
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'test.datasets'

I even tried to change the import statement to:

import test.datasets.py
test.datasets.get_movielens_100k(negative_value=0)

But I am still getting the same error message. Any ideas? Thanks!

Project structure needs to be known to your Python interpreter. And how to do it?

Set PYTHONPATH to base directory of your project Add init.py file in each directory

Voila! You will be able to import from any directory under your base folder after that

Sorry but what do you mean? You mean to set it at the environment variables? – QWERTY Jun 25 '18 at 04:34
Yes PYTHONPATH is the env variable. More on init file here http://mikegrouchy.com/blog/2012/05/be-pythonic-__init__py.html – Priyank Mehta Jun 25 '18 at 04:37

From Import a file from a subdirectory? :

In short, you need to put a blank file named
__init__.py
in the "lib" directory.
