Python's import statement really does two different things.
from MODULE import SYMBOL
from PACKAGE import MODULE
So far so good. But if you have a package inside a package, as in
quixote/server/simple_server.py), you cannot do:
import PACKAGE
PACKAGE.PACKAGE # No, the subpackage has not been imported.
# PACKAGE contains only the variables defined in
# PACKAGE/__init__.py .
What you want to do is:
import quixote
import quixote.server # Or "from quixote import server".
This loads only the variables in quixote/server/__init__.py . If you
want to refer to a module in the quixote/server package, you have to
import it separately.
import quixote.server.simple_server
or
from quixote.server import simple_server
or
from quixote.server.simple_server import run
