Python error “ImportError: No module named”

Question

Python is installed in a local directory.

My directory tree looks like this:

(local directory)/site-packages/toolkit/interface.py

Answer 1

1. You must have the file __ init__.py in the same directory where it's the file that you are importing.
2. You can not try to import a file that has the same name and be a file from 2 folders configured on the PYTHONPATH.

eg: /etc/environment

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/folder1:/opt/folder2

/opt/folder1/foo

/opt/folder2/foo

And, if you are trying to import foo file, python will not know which one you want.

from foo import ... >>> importerror: no module named foo
