Python3 module pakaging files structure and init file

Question

I have Python module with single file and single function inside the file. I've uploaded it to pypi, and I used following structure to package it, but when I called the function which it inside module file I received this error:

AttributeError: module 'effInput' has no attribute 'ask'

('ask' is name of function).

Module package structure :

|--effInput
 |--__init__. py
 |--effInput.py (module file) 
|--setup.py
|--readme.txt
|--LICENSE

init.py file:

import effInput
name="EffInput"

What I did wrong?

Answer 1

When you do it that way you have to call effInput.effInput.ask instead of effInput.ask. If you did from effInput import * in your __init__.py it should work as intended.
