Relative import multiple levels ?

[Windspar]

packages
- gradient
-- hsl_by_value.py
- objects
-- styles
--- box_style.py

How would I do? Like to do it with relative imports.
box_style.py

1	from ..gradient import hsl_by_value

---

I think I figure it out. So ... takes you to model name ?

1	from ...gradient import hsl_by_value

restate your structure. I dont understand what the dashes mean. From what i assume that means is?

1 2 3 4 5 6

packages/     gradient/         hsl_by_value.py     objects/         styles/             box_style.py

This is how i would have done it.

1 2 3 4 5 6

my_pack\ |-- __init__.py   gradient\   |-- __init__.py   |-- gradient.py

Top __init__.py is the file the file i change.
The use of .something or usage of __all__ in this __init__.py will prevent long imports for users.
A example of something that could have been done better

1	from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg as FigureCanvas

__init__.py:

1	from .gradient import gradient

gradient.py:

1 2	def hsl_value():     return 'rgb(255, 0, 0)'

So using my_pack look like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

λ ptpython >>> import my_pack >>> my_pack.gradient.hsl_value() 'rgb(255, 0, 0)'   >>> # Or >>> from my_pack import gradient >>> gradient.hsl_value() 'rgb(255, 0, 0)'

Yep. That what my structure looks like.
Thanks. The ... solved my problem.
