Python import or create package

Question

i have a project structure like this:

python-modinfo
|--funcs
   |--__init__.py
   |--funcs.py
|--modules
   |--File-Operations
      |os_info.py

This is __init__.py:

from funcs.funcs import *

This is os_info.py:

import funcs.funcs

and this is terminal output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "os_info.py", line 1, in <module>
    import funcs.funcs
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'funcs'

What is my mistake while creating a python package

What command are you running? Maybe this helps (in particular point #4): https://sinoroc.gitlab.io/kb/python/python_imports.html — sinoroc, Dec 21 '20 at 17:19

Try the __init__.py as from . import funcs as the funcs.py Is In Current Directory

Also try the same data in os_info.py

If you are just looking for a quick solution, do this in os_info.py:

import sys
sys.path.append('../../funcs')

from funcs import *

os_info.py won't know where funcs.py is located, therefore you need to tell it by providing the location.

thank you , it has worked but what does __init__.py file do if we can do it like this – Hapalua Dec 21 '20 at 09:54
To answer your question, I think this [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17779459/python-init-py-vs-sys-path-append-insert) explains it quite well. – blessthefry Dec 21 '20 at 17:04
