Importing modules from subpackage

Question

My project has this kind of structure:

mypackage
|
|-- __init__.py
|
|-- file.py
|
|-- subpackage
 |
 |-- __init__.py
 |
 |-- function.py

How do I import the modules in the subpackage from file.py?

I tried a couple of things like simply import subpackage or from subpackage import function but all of them lead to ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'subpackage'.

from . import subpackage has no error message but I don't know how to access the module with that.

• lllrnr101: This should work fine. What is the error message you get when you use from subpackage import function
• astrochun: Regarding how to access, you can do subpackage.function() on a separate line to call a specific function

Answer 1

I solved it by using:

from mypackage.subpackage import function 

• astrochun: Explicit is always better than implicit.

Answer 2

Just use

from subpackage import function

You propably are not in mypackage directory

• StrangeGirlMurph: Thanks for your answer but when I type ´from subpackage import function´ in file.py I get: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'subpackage'
• Kamil Kozioł: You have to run file.py from mypackage directory
• astrochun: For a bit more explicitness, I recommend from .subpackage import function
