I have a Python project having the following hierarchy:

- product_recommender_sys
 - data
 - dataset.csv
 - public
 - __init__.py
 - startup.py
 - src
 - __init__.py
 - recommender.py

I am trying to import the recommender.py module in startup.py. Following is the code: 

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/user1/product_recommender_sys/src')
print sys.path
from product_recommender_sys.src import recommender
recommender.recommend()

I have included __init__.py file and added the respective folders to sys.path. Also, the same import statement works perfectly fine on the Python interpreter, but fails inside the script. How can I get the import to work inside the script?

  • Could you please format the tree better, it would make things a lot easier. Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 18:09
  • What if you use sys.path.insert(0, '/home/user1/product_recommender_sys') Since this is the root folder of the module. Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 18:12
  • @PaulRooney , I tried the root folder too. Doesnt make any difference.Throws the same error "ImportError: No module named product_recommender_sys.src" Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 18:24
  • Strange it fixed it for me. Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 18:28
  • Should I be using __init__.py file in both sub-directories? Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 18:29

I found the issue. The startup.py module was not getting compiled since it was not being imported.

First compiling the script solves the problem.

python -m compileall product_recommender_sys/public/startup.py
