You mean like this?
top_level/
__main__.py
other_top_level/
a/
__init__.py
b/
__init__.py
> What would the line "import a.b" in __main__,py be replaced by?
Make sure other_top_level is in your PYTHONPATH, and then just use
"import a.b" as before.
Either use your shell to do something like this:
export PYTHONPATH=other_top_level:$PYTHONPATH
(that's using bash syntax, other shells may need something different), or
in __main__.py do this:
import sys
sys.path.append(other_top_level)
