I am trying to run a module from the console. The structure of my directory is this:
I am trying to run the module p_03_using_bisection_search.py
, from the problem_set_02
directory using:
$ python3 p_03_using_bisection_search.py
The code inside p_03_using_bisection_search.py
is:
__author__ = 'm'
from .p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year import compute_balance_after
def compute_bounds(balance: float,
annual_interest_rate: float) -> (float, float):
# there is code here, but I have omitted it to save space
pass
def compute_lowest_payment(balance: float,
annual_interest_rate: float) -> float:
# there is code here, but I have omitted it to save space
pass
def main():
balance = eval(input('Enter the initial balance: '))
annual_interest_rate = eval(input('Enter the annual interest rate: '))
lowest_payment = compute_lowest_payment(balance, annual_interest_rate)
print('Lowest Payment: ' + str(lowest_payment))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
I am importing a function that is in p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year.py
which code is:
__author__ = 'm'
def compute_balance(balance: float,
fixed_payment: float,
annual_interest_rate: float) -> float:
# this is code that has been omitted
pass
def compute_balance_after(balance: float,
fixed_payment: float,
annual_interest_rate: float,
months: int=12) -> float:
# Omitted code
pass
def compute_fixed_monthly_payment(balance: float,
annual_interest_rate: float) -> float:
# omitted code
pass
def main():
balance = eval(input('Enter the initial balance: '))
annual_interest_rate = eval(
input('Enter the annual interest rate as a decimal: '))
lowest_payment = compute_fixed_monthly_payment(balance,
annual_interest_rate)
print('Lowest Payment: ' + str(lowest_payment))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
I am getting the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '__main__.p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year'; '__main__' is not a package
I have no idea how to solve this issue. I have tried adding a __init__.py
file, but it is still not working.
This question is related to
python
module
python-3.6
python-import
I have the same issue as you did. I think the problem is that you used relative import in in-package import
. There is no __init__.py
in your directory. So just import as Moses answered above.
The core issue I think is when you import with a dot:
from .p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year import compute_balance_after
It is equivalent to:
from __main__.p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year import compute_balance_after
where __main__
refers to your current module p_03_using_bisection_search.py
.
Briefly, the interpreter does not know your directory architecture.
When the interpreter get in p_03.py
, the script equals:
from p_03_using_bisection_search.p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year import compute_balance_after
and p_03_using_bisection_search
does not contain any modules or instances called p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year
.
So I came up with a cleaner solution without changing python environment valuables (after looking up how requests do in relative import):
The main architecture of the directory is:
main.py
setup.py
problem_set_02/
__init__.py
p01.py
p02.py
p03.py
Then write in __init__.py
:
from .p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year import compute_balance_after
Here __main__
is __init__
, it exactly refers to the module problem_set_02
.
Then go to main.py
:
import problem_set_02
You can also write a setup.py
to add specific module to the environment.
If you have created directory and sub-directory, follow the steps below and please keep in mind all directory must have __init__.py
to get it recognized as a directory.
In your script, include import sys
and sys.path
, you will be able to see all the paths available to Python. You must be able to see your current working directory.
Now import sub-directory and respective module that you want to use using: import subdir.subdir.modulename as abc
and now you can use the methods in that module.
As an example, you can see in this screenshot I have one parent directory and two sub-directories and under second sub-directories I have the module CommonFunction
. On the right my console shows that after execution of sys.path
, I can see my working directory.
Remove the dot and import absolute_import in the beginning of your file
from __future__ import absolute_import
from p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year import compute_balance_after
Try to run it as:
python3 -m p_03_using_bisection_search
The problem still not resolved after remove the '.', then it start points the error to my folder. As i added this folder first time then i restarted the PyCharm and it automatically resolved the issue
Just use the name of the main folder which the .py file is in.
from problem_set_02.p_02_paying_debt_off_in_a_year import compute_balance_after
