Hi,

Is it somehow possible to import modules from *.py files in a higher
level directory?
Intuitively I would do

import ../module

but that does not work.
How does it work?

Thanks!
Nathan

IIRC, sys.path controls the search order. You could insert your
preferred directory:

sys.path.insert(0,"/my/import/module/path")

from .. import module
or
from ..module import foo

this is intended for use within packages.

see
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/

also search for
python relative import

And it only works within nested packages.

Also, please refrain from top posting.

If you are going to berate people for bad netiquette you should learn
it too. Please trim your included text. You included the entire rest
of the OP's message including his signature after your response.
