🔒 Includes not working as expected

[shy epoch]

I am having issues calling a function which is in a separate file contained in the subfolder.

Directory structure is attached.

The file is msgTypesPy/cam/camHandler.py. If I run it alone, everything works as expected.

import json
import cam

def decode():
    value = json.loads(r'{"............."}', parse_float=str)

    try:
        encoded = cam.CAM_PDU_Descriptions.CAM.encode('UPER', value)

        print('Encoded HEX: ' + ', '.join(['0x{:02X}'.format(val) for val in encoded]))
        print()

        decoded = cam.CAM_PDU_Descriptions.CAM.decode('UPER', encoded)

        print('Decoded value: {}'.format(json.dumps(decoded, default=str)))
        print()

    except NotImplementedError as e:
        print('Not Implemented Error : {}'.format(format(e)))

decode()

If I run messageHandler.py which has the following code:

from msgTypesPy.cam import camHandler
camHandler.decode()

it fails with an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:/Users/Srdan/Desktop/Dev_C-ITS/messageHandler copy.py", line 1, in <module>
    from msgTypesPy.cam import camHandler
  File "c:\Users\Srdan\Desktop\Dev_C-ITS\msgTypesPy\cam\camHandler.py", line 2, in <module>
    import cam
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cam'

Could you help me and explain why the module is not found when the function is called from another file?
I really do not understand what the issue here is...

• 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.

your project structure looks wrong on two points: 1) your project root directory should not contain any code, 2) your packages are missing __init__.py modules

put all other files like licenses in the root directory, and structure your code under a single top-level package

your import is specifically failing because it tries to find a top level module named cam

and at least to me, it's not clear which packages are supposed to be top level and which are not

so fix the confusing package structure first

Thanks!

Not sure if I got this quite right

So this would be the whole project:

So you propose to put everything code related into a single folder in the root

Like this?

Ok, now I have restructured everything and renamed the package, but I still have the same error

The messageHandler copy.py calls the camHandler properly

from msgTypesPy.cam1 import camHandler
camHandler.decode()

But it then can't find the module cam.

If I start camHandler.py directly, it works well.
I have absolutely no understanding what I am doing wrong here..
