python no module named 'A' __init__ vs package












0














I have looked up several answers on google but none of them made my problem correct.



I made my python file in directory A



in my __init__.py I have app = Flask(__name__)



When I want to get app from other file I use:



from A import app


but error says no module named 'A' so I changed to



from __init__ import app


now it works



Can anyone tell me why from A import app does not work?

    Where is the file that you're doing the import in relative to the A package?

  • Sounds like you're inside the package directory (at the same directory level as __init__.py, while you should be one up for from A import app to work. Or, alternatively, have the package properly installed, and work from an unrelated directory.
