#🔒 Issue with OS module and paths/imports
tawdry bane
hold on, Im working on the formatting
I accidently posted something
\Adventures\map\generator.py📁
from ..utils.common import *
def Generator(dimensions:tuple, bias:int):
returns 0
\Adventures\map\map.py📁
import os
from ..utils.common import random
from .generator import Generator
map = Generator(0,0)
\Adventures\utils\common.py📁
import random
import math
#2 non relevant packages for my entire project
ISSUE
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users\x\main\Library\Programming\Projects\Adventures\map\map.py", line 2, in <module>
from ..utils.common import random
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
DEBUGGING
import os
print("??") #prints ??
print(os.getcwd()) #does NOT print c:/Users/X/main/Library/Programming/Projects/Adventures/map/map.py
os.chdir("C:/") #here im changing the directory to c:/
print(os.getcwd()) #prints c:/
Basically, My problem is that I am trying to reference a file inside my project directory and import some of the modules inside it. Something is wrong with the environment. Im using VSCode
In the debugging, If I change the cwd to c:\ it prints correctly, but not my current working directory

I can simplify this even further, Basically 2 files. One is trying to import from the other but im getting this error
cobalt prawn
if i remember correctly from ..utils.common import * should be from utils.common import *
try that, i might be wrong tho
tawdry bane
map.py is a file inside map folder
which is a folder inside adventures
and the destination can only be reached by referencing adventures
@cobalt prawn any chance I can just upload the code to you?
cobalt prawn
did you try from utils.common import *?
tawdry bane
File "c:\Users\x\main\Library\Programming\Projects\Adventures\main.py", line 1, in <module>
from .utils.common import *
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
from .utils.common import *
if __name__=="__main__":
print("test")
You'd reach adventure then utils then common.py
Map has no relation here
I dont think the code is the problem, its definetly something in VSCode
I believe I might be inside a restricted workspace or something?
Im not sure how to check this though
cobalt prawn
no, your code is the problem
tawdry bane
import os
print("??") #prints ??
print(os.getcwd()) #does NOT print c:/Users/X/main/Library/Programming/Projects/Adventures/map/map.py
os.chdir("C:/") #here im changing the directory to c:/
print(os.getcwd()) #prints c:/
This is some odd behaviour though
If you want, I can just send you the folder
cobalt prawn
```python
import os
print("??") #prints ??
print(os.getcwd()) #does NOT print c:...
from wich file are you running this?
cobalt prawn
do you get this output c:/Users/X/main/Library/Programming/Projects/Adventures?
tawdry bane
I did not get this output
it states in the comment that it was not provided, Its blank in the terminal
its meant to be :/Users/X/main/Library/Programming/Projects/Adventures
@cobalt prawn Im really grateful that you took time to try and help me on this. I think it would be easier if I sent you the folder or maybe published it somewhere
Im terrible at explaining the problem
