Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

i want to import a custom error handler but for some reason the "attribute" isnt found which its there it just for some reason cant be found and idk why

yeah, no clue either. If anything maybe try moving manager into src?

personally I always stick to using absolute imports, and always use this structure for my projects:

• https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/
• alternative / builds on top of the above: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/

note: It requires pyproject.toml, and while the tutorials are a bit focused on publishing, this structure is great even when you do not want to publish it
Use pip install -e . inside of a virtual environment to install it after formatting as a package

typically you'll want to avoid from src import xyz or import src.xyz though, format your project in a way such that your imports have a more meaningful name

import handler as _handler
handler = _handler```
why not just ```py
import handler```

[jovial rain]

I did

that didn't work either

You're running manager.py, yes? When you run a script, its directory is put in Python's search path. That is what causes your handler.py file to be the module src.handler - src is found in the directory of manager.py. The you import the name handler from src, so you've imported your src.handler module, and it has the name handler in your script. I'm assuming there's a Handler class in handler.py. Then its name is handler.Handler, not handler.handler.Handler. The local name handler_is_ yoursrc.handlermodule and thereforeHandleris obtained from that, so its name ishandler.Handler`.
