Hi all. I'm trying to do something with python import but isn't working
for me.
Using python 2,5 I've a program structured like this:
* a main module called (for example) "mommy" with an __init__.py and a
file called "mommy.py"
* a __version__ var defined inside the main __init__.py
From the mommy.py file I need to import the __version__ var, but I'm
really not able to do this! I fear this is a very stupid task to do...
my problem is that the file is called like the module.
Anyone can point me to the solution?
The short answer is: don't do that! __init__.py may import any module, but
other modules in the package should not import anything from __init__.py
The same rule applies to the main module in an application: it can import
any other required module, but no one should import main.
If you don't follow those rules you may encounter some surprises.
You *can* break the rules and actually do what you want, but I would not
reccomend it.
In this case, can't you switch the place where __version__ is defined? It
looks like a constant, so you could have it actually defined in mommy.py,
and inside __init__.py just import the value.
