Importing Modules From Different Directories

I have a problem importing a module: It is under this directory ./dao and the code that calls it is here ./core. Schematically represented as: rnaspace/ __init__.py core/ __in

Solution 1:

from rnaspace.dao.storage_configuration_reader import storage_configuration_reader

That is wrong because there is no "storage_configuration_reader" directory in "dao" directory

This is how it should be:

from rnaspace.dao import storage_configuration_reader

EDIT:

or this way:

import rnaspace.dao.storage_configuration_reader

Solution 2:

I finally found the solution in another question, it is using the module imp.
I just needed to add the name of the module, and the absolute path where it was:

imp.load_source("storage_configuration_reader","./rnaspace/dao/storage_configuration_reader.py")
