EasyImports is a python package that allows users to easily access and import files from sister folders:
f.ex:
- Project
- Folder 1
-main.py
- Folder 2
-userpackage1.py
-other_stuff.py
- My Folder
-important_package.py
if you would try to import anything in main.py that isn't in Folder 1 you'll get an error.
F.ex:
in main.py
import userpackage1
from Folder 2 import other_stuff.py
import My Folder.important_package.py
=> Each of these will raise a ModuleNotFoundError
With EasyImports this can be fixed.
To install EasyImports:
pip install EasyImports
Inside main.py, type the following code:
from EasyImports import easyimports
easyimports.loadImports()
Now, you can just import the files userpackage1.py, other_stuff.py and important_package.py like you would normally:
#import EasyImports and load sister files
from EasyImports import easyimports
easyimports.loadImports()
#import files
import userpackage1
import other_stuff
import important_package
#alternatively, you can also do
import userpackage1, other_stuff, important_package
Sometimes, Pylance can raise a warning: Import "package" could not be resolved
this isn't problematic, as the program will still run without issues, but it may be visually annoying
you can fix this by ignoring the Pylance error:
#import EasyImports and load sister files
from EasyImports import easyimports
easyimports.loadImports()
#import files and ignore warning
import userpackage1 #type: ignore
