#1214994706283364432 message this post is the context you're referring to, right? if you aren't familiar with creating installable packages, i would suggest removing the src/ directory so you can import it without installation, i.e. my_project/ ├── animehun/ │ ├── Anilist/ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ └── ... │ └── provider/ │ ├── __init__.py │ └── ... ├── LICENSE └── README.md ```py

animehun/provider/init.py or somewhere else:

from animehun.Anilist import ...``` then following the same instructions suggested by graingert, use python -m path.to.module to run your script

[dull socket]

the src has an other meaning too? i only use it bc my friend put it there ill remove it

ergh, without a build configuration file like pyproject.toml + setuptools, it becomes unwieldly to work with and you resort to workarounds like PYTHONPATH or sys.path.append()

[dull socket]

i dont get it now i can even import whats next to the program

[stiff shadow]

i thought you were using relative imports?

[dull socket]

in an other file

[little slate]

You want from .ANILIST1 import ANILIST1

[dull socket]

like this one

[dull socket]

ok

[stiff shadow]

personally i would refrain from going up too many levels cause i find from ....Anilist.info import INFO10 harder to understand than an equivalent absolute import, from animehun.Anilist.info import INFO10

[dull socket]

oh and now i can do relative inports thx

[dull socket]

that is a way that i too think looks simpler but i dont want to add animehun to a global path and have no idea how id put it on path only inside of it

[stiff shadow]

if you're able to run your server via python -m animehun.Anilist.Anilist_flask_server, that means animehun is already on sys.path

[dull socket]

I think i do that i run with f5 but i think thats what the launch.json did in the previous post right?

[stiff shadow]

technically, you're relying on the CWD (current working directory) of your terminal which python automatically prepends to sys.path whenever you run python -m path.to.module
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys_path_init.html#sys-path-init

if you were to open a new terminal (ctrl+`) and then navigate to another directory, e.g. sh cd animehun/provider then running python -m animehun.Anilist.Anilist_flask_server would try to look for animehun/provider/animehun/Anilist/Anilist_flask_server.py instead

[dull socket]

so i need to set the launch.json to:

    "configurations": [
    {
        "name": "anilist_flask",
        "type": "python",
        "request": "launch",
        "module": "animehun.Anilist.Anilist_flask_server"
    }
]

This what i mean

[stiff shadow]

yeah that seems equivalent to python -m ...
