I have a main project folder with one .py file inside, and a subdirectory with two .py files inside. From the main file (main.py), I create an object of a subdirectory file (subFile.py). Then, the subdirectory file imports the other subdirectory file (header_footer.py), which is a subclass of FPDF. I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'header_footer'. I have tried throwing import statements all around, every which way I can, with periods, without periods, and I just don't understand which version is right. I even put blank init.py files in each directory because I've heard that fixes it.
Here is the file structure:
Project
└── __init__.py
└── main.py
└── Sub
└── __init__.py
└── subFile.py
└── header_footer.py
And here are the three files. I made test files to closely match my code structure without the other frills.
main.py
from Sub.subFile import *
testObject = subFile()
print("Success")
subFile.py
from fpdf import FPDF
from header_footer import *
class subFile:
def __init__(self):
self.name = "garbage"
pdf = header_footer()
header_footer.py
from fpdf import FPDF
class header_footer(FPDF):
def __init_subclass__(self):
self.name = "blank"
