    import question

    Hi list,

    I'd appreciate any advice on the following:

    In the "live" environment, I have some Python scripts which make use of
    Python packages. The directory structure is something like that:
    /live/
    /live/py/
    /live/lib/

    There is a .pth file in the Python site-packages directory, which
    contains "/live/lib".
    In the scripts, packages are imported with a normal import statement,
    like this:

    from module.submodul e import someclass

    Nothing unusual.

    Now I want to use the same server for "staging" environment. The
    additional directory structure will be:
    /staging/
    /staging/py/
    /staging/lib/

    After testing, files will be copied from "staging" to "live".
    Now my question: what would be the proper way to construct the import
    statement, so no modifications will be needed when copying files? I
    first thought about relative import (from ..lib import something) , but
    it seems not (yet) to be an option :-)


    Appreciate any tips!

    Thanx,
    Ksenia.

      Re: import question

      I do this by putting what you refer to as "staging"
      on separate logical drive (windows) or with a symlink
      (linux) and placing the root in my pythonpath environment.
      Then I don't have to change my code, just the pythonpath.

      HTH,
