I’m trying to use importlib.import_module in Python 2.7.2 and run into the strange error.
I have gone through many Python relative import questions but I can’t understand the issue/get it to work.
As far as I understand, a python module is never imported twice, i.e. the code in the module only gets executed the first time it is imported. Subsequent import statements just add the module to the scope of the import.
I want to define a constant that should be available in all of the submodules of a package. I’ve thought that the best place would be in in the __init__.py file of the root package. But I don’t know how to do this. Suppose I have a few subpackages and each with several modules. How can I access that variable from these modules?
I would like to define globals in a “programmatic” way. Something similar to what I want to do would be:
I had never noticed the __path__ attribute that gets defined on some of my packages before today. According to the documentation:
Should I use
I am learning Python and am still a beginner, although I have been studying it for about a year now. I am trying to write a module of functions which is called within a main module. Each of the functions in the called module needs the math module to run. I am wondering if there is a way to do this without importing the math module inside the called module. Here is what I have:
Does Python have a package/module management system, similar to how Ruby has rubygems where you can do gem install packagename?
