project a urls.py b views.py

The case is like this. I am not being able to import the function from views.py in urls.py. It shows the error attempted relative import beyond top-level package.

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path

from ..b.views import function


urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('function/', function),]

from ..b.views import function ValueError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package

    Please import this as `from b.views import function`. Relative imports are usually not a very good idea (especially when you do a lot of "walking") – Willem Van Onsem Aug 14 '19 at 09:50

You can use

from b.views import function

In django, it is not recommended to use relative imports. You should import all files as they are present from the root of the django project. Example, for your case it should be:

from b import views

Ensure that the to-be-imported module or a reference is in the path of your python program. To include higher ordered dictionaries TRY:

import sys
sys.path.append("..") # Adds higher directory to python modules path.

You might find your answer here StackOverflow: ValueError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package

edit: other comments suggest that you should not use relative imports.
