Python makes it intentionally difficult to mix scripts in a modules. The way this can be handled is like this:

/project
    /scripts
        run.py
    /sandbox
        __init__.py
        /p1
            __init__.py
            file1.py
            file2.py

/project/sandbox/p1/file1.py

from .file2 import B
class A(object):
    pass

/project/sandbox/p1/file2.py

class B(object):
    pass

/project/scripts/run.py

from sandbox.p1.file1 import A
a = A()

I make sure that the path to /project is in a .pth file in the site-packages of the virtual environment I want to use it from.
