I have generally used python for tasks that are scripty and not appish. I have found that I don't know the language very well even though I have been scripting with it for about two years. To remedy this I am in the process of laying out a mock up for an accounting system (GL, AR, AP). This is the first time I have done modules inside packages and I am confused about namespaces.
What I have is a folder structure that looks like this: root ++ Common ++ AP ++ AR ++ GL Each subfolder looks like: ++ Common ++++ __init__.py ++++ sobjs.py (this contains sqlobjects for the domain) ++++ validators.py (contains formencode validators for the sqlobjects for the domain) ++++ exceptions.py ++++ folder: view (this will be templates) ++++ folder: search (this will contain controllers for lookups) ++++ folder: transact (this will contain controllers for creating transactions) ++++ folder: maintain (contains folders for maintaining domain objects (ie customer maintenance or anything that isn't a busness transaction) In the __init__ file I import sobjs, exceptions, validators and I will eventually check to see that the user is supposed to be in that domain. You may laready see what the problem is. When I import Common from the script running in the root folder and it runs init all of themodules in the domain (common, GL) package that get imported by __init__have no ancesters in their name spaces (is that the correct term?). What I wanted was root/common/sobjs.py as common.sobjs not just sobjs. Am I totally confused here? Is there some place that I could go that has better doccumentation on settig up namespaces for large python projects?
