You can do the relative import like this: from . import something Or if something were defined in A/otherthing.py, then: from .otherthing import something Note that PEP 8 discourages relative imports and encourages absolute imports, though. This would be the preferred way to do it: from A import something Cheers, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
