If sounds like the main problem with relative imports (even explicit) is caused by ignoring the package structure and running modules inside a package as a script, without using -m.
Maybe we should update the PEP to make this abundantly clear? I note that an additional problem with informational PEPs like PEP 8 is that they aren't tied to a particular Python version, so even if we solved the above issue perfectly in Python 3.4 there'd still be tons of people applying PEP 8 to older code who would benefit from the warning against relative imports. So maybe we should also add that to the PEP. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
