I have the following directory structure

src\
    conectores\
              mysql.py
    bibliotecas
    auxiliares
teste\
    chamarMysql.py

In the above structure as I can from inside the test file call Myql.py, call a class that is in src mysql connectors.py?

To make him understand that the other files are modules, create a file __init__.py empty in each folder.

If what you are running is in the root folder (before src and teste), the import look something like:

from src.conectores import mysql
mysql.seu_metodo()

If it is not in the root folder, you will need some solution to match the one described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/714063/importing-modules-from-parent-folder

Just put an empty file with the name in the same folder:

__init__.py

For example:

src\
    conectores\
              __init__.py
              mysql.py
    bibliotecas
    auxiliares
teste\
    chamarMysql.py

All folders belonging to your project should have the same file.

  • Excuse the ignorance, but and in the file I am working from there I put only the name of the file without the . py, as I normally do when files are in the same directory?

  • @Brunobermann should put a filename init.py in all folders and subfolders of your python project.

  • I just don’t understand how I import the file that is one level below and inside another directory with subdirectory.

  • As usual, just put in this case the "import mysql" line in the file where you want to import the module. No need to set the directory.
