python packaging causes importerror
- by Absolute0
I am getting an annoying import error when I try to import a variable in an init.py file. I have attached the files involved and my directory structure:
#/home/me/app/app/__init__.py
from flaskext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
#/home/me/app/app/models/__init__.py
from datetime import datetime
from app import db
#shell
[me@archlinux app]$ pwd
/home/me/app
[me@archlinux app]$ ./manage.py
/home/me/app/app/__init__.pyc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 7, in <module>
from app import app
File "/home/me/app/app/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
from app.views.post import post
File "/home/me/app/app/views/post.py", line 4, in <module>
from app.models import Post
File "/home/me/app/app/models/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
from app import db
ImportError: cannot import name db
[me@archlinux app]$ tree
