I want to make my Project structured and ordered. It looks like that:

In the scraper.py I am importing functions from packages at the same level:

from scripts.scraping.web_scraping.web_scraper import get_data_from_web, COMMON_PLANT_DISEASES_URL
from scripts.scraping.image_scraping.image_scraper import get_data_from_images, IMAGES_PATH
from scripts.scraping.export_excel.export_excel import save_excel

All of the init.py contain according lines:

from . import export_excel
from . import image_scraper
from . import web_scraper

I tried using relative imports:

from .web_scraping.web_scraper import get_data_from_web, COMMON_PLANT_DISEASES_URL
from .image_scraping.image_scraper import get_data_from_images, IMAGES_PATH
from .export_excel.export_excel import save_excel

however I get the ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package error.

EDIT I added init.py to all scripts subfolders, including the scripts folder:

But still I get the same error while trying the relative import. How can I solve this issue?

It looks like you need an __init__.py in the scraping directory – Eric Truett Apr 20 '21 at 18:25
@EricTruett and what should i include inside? – Filip Szczybura Apr 20 '21 at 18:26
How do you execute this code? – MisterMiyagi Apr 20 '21 at 18:26
it can be empty. The init file makes the folder become a package – Udendu Abasili Apr 20 '21 at 18:27
@UdenduAbasili I added an empty scraping/__init__.py but the same results. – Filip Szczybura Apr 20 '21 at 18:28
@MisterMiyagi I run the scraper.py – Filip Szczybura Apr 20 '21 at 18:28
@napuzba I totally gave up after no solution was suitable for me. I used absolute imports – Filip Szczybura Apr 21 '21 at 10:10
