python - Import a module from the root -

in structure:

app -companies --models.py --__init__.py -manage.py -__init__.py

models.py

class company(): pass

manage.py

from flask import flask app = flask(__name__) app.companies.models import company if __name__ == '__main__': manager.run() importerror: no module named app.companies.models

what reason? in views.py, within companies folder, import works without problem.

the problem not code, how you're running it:

i running python manage.py

for work, working directory must app. current working directory automatically added sys.path. there 2 possibilities here, both of them bad:

the more directory containing app isn't on sys.path @ all, far python concerned, there no top-level bundle named app.

the less directory containing app on sys.path, app itself. in case, confuse hell out of importer, because same file or directory can end imported 2 or more separate objects different names in sys.modules. it's hard predict problems can cause, cause problems.

either way, solution not run way. instead, run 1 directory up, directory app in. means have run 1 of next ways:

python -m app.manage python app/manage.py

python python-2.7 flask
