from Project import config

[muted walrus]

and if in name of project i have spaces like: Project X?

[sick haven]

you cant by doing simple thing

but you can still use the lib importlib

[muted walrus]

i renamed project, it doesnt work

[sick haven]

from project import example doesnt work ?

[muted walrus]

ye

from project import config*

[sick haven]

show me ur tree

[muted walrus]

Rina Disnake its just name of project, i renamed it too now

[sick haven]

you put congif and not config

that might be why

[gentle flicker]

In Leave.py add the following to the top of the file. This will tell the python interpreter where to look for the file. In the append function use the actual path of the parent directory

import sys
sys.path.append('C:\Users\zay...\Rina')
import config

[muted walrus]

oh 😳 but anyway it doesnt matter

[muted walrus]

and if i will change my pc i will need to change all my files 🤨

[amber zealot]

I would recommend using pathlib

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    import pathlib
    sys.path.append(pathlib.Path().absolute().parent.as_posix())

this will relatively locate the path of Rina(project root) when that file is directly runned

[gentle flicker]

Also look into using python modules with init.py that might that right way to do it. I'm pretty new to python myself.

[amber zealot]

it have to be a module to make it possible (or otherwise very diffcult if not impossible)

[muted walrus]

uhm.. what means last

[amber zealot]

?

you mean the last line

[muted walrus]

sys.path.append(pathlib.Path().absolute().parent.as_posix())

this

[amber zealot]

it mean
append a path that is the parent of the current working directory to sys.path in string format

sys.path is a list of path that python will look through to import module

[muted walrus]

okey i will try it

[muted walrus]

why it can happens

[gentle flicker]

I tried that and I think you will still need to add the name of your project to the end. Like this.

sys.path.append(pathlib.Path().absolute().parent.as_posix()+"/Rina")

[muted walrus]

it returns error

bcs of +

[gentle flicker]

what about this?

import sys
import pathlib
path = pathlib.Path().absolute().parent.as_posix()+"/Rina"
sys.path.append(path)

[muted walrus]

returns Rina folder

[gentle flicker]

your config import should work now

[muted walrus]

from path import config?

[gentle flicker]

no just
import config

[amber zealot]

You cannot print a append, list.append return None

Instead you should just print the content

For debug purposes

[muted walrus]

thank you very much, it works fine now

and deleted.user0 thank you too! 🤗

[gentle flicker]

YW!

[amber zealot]
