🔒 Problem with importing.

[fleet cosmos]

This is my file structure:

.
├── data
│   ├── config.json
│   └── data.json
├── internal
│   ├── __pycache__
│   │   ├── __init__.cpython-312.pyc
│   │   ├── logger.cpython-312.pyc
│   │   └── paths.cpython-312.pyc
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── logger.py
│   └── paths.py
├── server
│   ├── extras
│   │   └── new_captcha.html
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── client.py
│   └── reload.py
└── start-server.py

The problem I am facing is while using this:

# This is start-server.py
import subprocess
import threading
from internal.paths import SERVER_RELOAD

print(SERVER_RELOAD)
def start(port):

    subprocess.Popen(['python', SERVER_RELOAD, port])

ports = ['1337']

for port in ports:
    threading.Thread(target=start, args=(port)).start()

And in ./server/reload.py
I import it like this.

from internal.logger import MainLogger

( importing it to server/reload.py )
Which says internal module not found.

When i try to import it this way:

from ..internal.logger import MainLogger

It says this

    from ..logger import MainLogger
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

When this:

from ..internal.logger import MainLogger

I get this:

  File "C:\Users\halfstackpgr\Discord Nitro Generator\server\reload.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ..internal.logger import MainLogger

How can I help myself with this ?

Is this a different topic than your other help thread?

it happens because you can't do relative imports in the script that you try to directly run, or the relative import is "going into/outside" the folder of the running script
the quickest workaround is add another __init__.py to . then run the script as a module py -m start-server.py

[fleet cosmos]

let me try

[lean blaze]

The init file should make it work even when starting normally, without the -m

[fleet cosmos]

init in the . folder?

do we have to write the init or making a blank one works?

[main pelican]

the file's ./server/reload.py, and the relative import is

from ..internal.logger import MainLogger
```so it'd go to `./`, which is the same folder `start-server.py` is in, which OP's running, so I don't think so?

[main pelican]

blank works, add the __init__.py to the same folder as start-server.py, and run it as a module by adding the -m tag

[fleet cosmos]

fair let me try

[fleet cosmos]

doesn't work

 python -m start-server   
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\halfstackpgr\Discord Nitro Generator\server\reload.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ..internal.logger import MainLogger
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

[main pelican]

uh

go back one directory maybe
then py -m "Discord Nitro Generator/start-server.py"

py -m "Discord Nitro Generator/start-server.py"
C:\Users\halfstackpgr\Discord Nitro Generator\env\Scripts\python.exe: Error while finding module specification for 'Discord Nitro Generator/start-server.py' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Discord Nitro Generator/start-server'). Try using 'Discord Nitro Generator/start-server' instead of 'Discord Nitro Generator/start-server.py' as the module name.

doesn't work without .py too

says no module found

[main pelican]

hmmm...
I swear to god some configuration of this worked for someone else
brain is not braining apparently 😦

[fleet cosmos]

gotta ask Guido himself

[lean blaze]

Remove the double dots, just do from internal

[fleet cosmos]

let me try

[lean blaze]

!rule 2 5 also, I don't think we should continue helping as that project name is clearly against Discord ToS

i changed it

[stable hull]

Sure

[fleet cosmos]

  File "C:\Users\halfstackpgr\flask_test\server\reload.py", line 1, in <module>
    from internal.logger import MainLogger
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'internal'

who'd use a logger in a gen anyways

[fleet cosmos]

huh

?

[rotund hamlet]

You are NOT slick lol

[fleet cosmos]

i can upload my whole src and give here smart ass.

i have servers dedicated to discord libs. This wasnt one of those discord tools

thus I am here.
