I have the following folder structure.

```
application

I want to import some functions from `file.py` in `some_file.py`.

I&#39;ve tried

```python

and some other various attempts but so far I couldn&#39;t manage to import properly. How can I do this?

Importing files from different folder

I&#39;m trying to follow [PEP 328][1], with the following directory structure:

    pkg/
      __init__.py
      components/
        core.py
        __init__.py
      tests/
        core_test.py
        __init__.py

In `core_test.py` I have the following import statement

    from ..components.core import GameLoopEvents

However, when I run, I get the following error:

    tests$ python core_test.py 
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File &quot;core_test.py&quot;, line 3, in &lt;module&gt;
        from ..components.core import GameLoopEvents
    ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

Searching around I found &quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9427037/relative-path-not-working-even-with-init-py&quot; and &quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/279237/python-import-a-module-from-a-folder/6098238#6098238&quot; but they didn&#39;t help.

Is there anything I&#39;m missing here?

How to fix &quot;Attempted relative import in non-package&quot; even with __init__.py

I have four different files named: `main.py`, `vector.py`, `entity.py` and `physics.py`. I will not post all the code, just the imports, because I think that&#39;s where the error is (If you want, I can post more).

main.py:

    import time
    from entity import Ent
    from vector import Vect
    #the rest just creates an entity and prints the result of movement

entity.py:

    from vector import Vect
    from physics import Physics
    class Ent:
        #holds vector information and id
    def tick(self, dt):
        #this is where physics changes the velocity and position vectors

vector.py:

    from math import *
    class Vect:
        #holds i, j, k, and does vector math

physics.py:

    from entity import Ent
    class Physics:
        #physics class gets an entity and does physics calculations on it.

I then run from `main.py` and I get the following error:

&gt;     Traceback (most recent call last):
&gt;     File &quot;main.py&quot;, line 2, in &lt;module&gt;
&gt;         from entity import Ent
&gt;     File &quot;.../entity.py&quot;, line 5, in &lt;module&gt;
&gt;         from physics import Physics
&gt;     File &quot;.../physics.py&quot;, line 2, in &lt;module&gt;
&gt;         from entity import Ent
&gt;     ImportError: cannot import name Ent

I&#39;m guessing that the error is due to importing entity twice, once in `main.py`, and later in `physics.py`, but I don&#39;t know a workaround. Can anyone help?



ImportError: Cannot import name X

Python is installed in a local directory.  

My directory tree looks like this:

    (local directory)/site-packages/toolkit/interface.py

My code is in here:

    (local directory)/site-packages/toolkit/examples/mountain.py

To run the example, I write `python mountain.py`, and in the code I have:

    from toolkit.interface import interface

And I get the error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File &quot;mountain.py&quot;, line 28, in ?
        from toolkit.interface import interface
    ImportError: No module named toolkit.interface

I have already checked `sys.path` and there I have the directory `/site-packages`. Also, I have the file `__init__.py.bin` in the toolkit folder to indicate to Python that this is a package. I also have a `__init__.py.bin` in the examples directory.

I do not know why Python cannot find the file when it is in `sys.path`.  Any ideas?  Can it be a permissions problem?  Do I need some execution permission?

In my code I use the [`DictCursor`][1] from `psycopg2.extras` like this

    dict_cur = conn.cursor(cursor_factory=psycopg2.extras.DictCursor)
However, all of the sudden I get the following error when I load the cursor:

Maybe something is dorked in my installation but I have no clue where to start looking. I made some updates with pip, but as far as I know no dependencies of `psycopg2`.

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 system, on which I want to install OpenCV and use it with Python 2.x.

I installed OpenCV using the instructions here:
[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV][1]

The install seemed to run properly, no errors, the script ended with output 

    OpenCV 2.4.9 ready to be used

When I try to run the sample Python script, I get the following:

    $ python opencv.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File &quot;opencv.py&quot;, line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
        from cv2.cv import *
    ImportError: No module named cv2.cv

I suspect I know why, I just don&#39;t know how to fix it. OpenCV installed to the current directory I was in when I ran the install script, it&#39;s a subdirectory of my home folder. 

Others who get this import error after install seem to be having a path issue, and have luck adding this to their code:

    import sys
    sys.path.append(&#39;/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages&#39;)

or updating their PYTHONPATH with that same directory. I tried adding that code, it doesn&#39;t make a difference. I don&#39;t see any files in the &quot;site-packages&quot; directory. Should I have done the install in that directory? I imagine the installation instructions would have spelled that out. I suspect that my problem has to do with Python not finding the OpenCV install, but I&#39;m not sure how to proceed.

Please help me get a usable install of OpenCV as simply as possible.

I get an `ImportError` exception somewhere in the code, but the same module can be imported safely at startup of the application. I&#39;m curious to see which paths Python looks for modules to import, so that I can trace why this problem occurs. I found this:

&lt;code&gt;print sys.path&lt;/code&gt;

Is this the list of ALL paths that system looks when tries to import a module?

I&#39;m having a strange problem while trying to install the Python library `zenlib`, using its `setup.py` file. When I run the `setup.py` file, I get an import error, saying 

&gt; ImportError: No module named Cython.Distutils`

but I do have such a module, and I can import it on the python command line without any trouble.  Why might I be getting this import error?

I think that the problem may have to do with the fact that I am using [Enthought Python Distribution](https://www.enthought.com/product/enthought-python-distribution/), which I installed right beforehand, rather than using the Python 2.7 that came with Ubuntu 12.04.

More background:
Here&#39;s exactly what I get when trying to run setup.py:

    enwe101@enwe101-PCL:~/zenlib/src$ sudo python setup.py install
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File &quot;setup.py&quot;, line 4, in &lt;module&gt;
        from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
    ImportError: No module named Cython.Distutils

But it works from the command line:

    &gt;&gt;&gt; from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
    &gt;&gt;&gt; 
    &gt;&gt;&gt; from fake.package import noexist
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File &quot;&lt;stdin&gt;&quot;, line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    ImportError: No module named fake.package

Note the first import worked and the second throws an error.  Compare this to the first few lines of setup.py:

    #from distutils.core import setup
    from setuptools import setup
    from distutils.extension import Extension
    from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
    import os.path

I made sure that the Enthought Python Distribution and not the python that came with Ubuntu is what is run by default by prepending my bash $PATH environment variable by editing `~/.bashrc`, adding this as the last line:

    export PATH=/usr/local/epd/bin:$PATH

and indeed `which python` spits out `/usr/local/epd/bin/python`... not knowing what else to try, I went into my site packages directory, (`/usr/local/epd/lib/python2.7/site-packages`) and give full permissions (r,w,x) to `Cython`, `Distutils`, `build_ext.py`, and the `__init__.py` files.  Probably silly to try, and it changed nothing.

Can&#39;t think of what to try next!? Any ideas?

The single line that I am trying to run is the following:

    from PIL import Image

However simple this may seem, it gives an error:

In case that&#39;s helpful, I installed pillow from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/2.6.1 (file `Pillow-2.6.1.win-amd64-py3.4.exe`) before running this (before that there was already som `PIL` install, which I uninstalled). The script is run in Pyzo with Python version 3.4.1.

What is going wrong, how can I import `Image`?

I have an input error in pycharm when debugging and running.

My project structure is rooted properly, `etc./HW3/.` so that `HW3` is the root directory. 

I have a subfolder in HW3, `util`, and a file, `util/util.py`.  I have another file in `util` called `run_tests.py`. 

In `run_tests.py`, I have the following import structure, 

    from util.util import my_functions, etc.

This yields an input error, `from util.util import load_dataset,proportionate_sample
ImportError: No module named &#39;util.util&#39;; &#39;util&#39; is not a package`

___

However, in the exact same project, in another directory (same level as `util`) called `data`, I have a file `data/data_prep.py`, which also imports functions from `util/util.py` using a similar import statement...and it runs without any problems.  

___
Obviously, I am doing this in the course of doing a homework, so please understand: this is ancillary to the scope of the homework. 
____

The problem goes away when I move the file to another directory.  So I guess this question is **How do I import a python file located in the same directory in a pycharm project?**  Because pycharm raises an error if I just do `import util` and prompts me to use the full name from the root.

I uninstalled MySQL 5.1 and installed 5.6, and I would like to import a previously exported SQL file back. But there is some function which causes an error in that export file. 
I found and ran the command:

but if I understand, it works only when upgrade, not with install. Is there some solution for me? 

I also removed the function definition from import file and import is done. But if I want to redefine that function manually it shows me the same error &quot;can not load from mysql.proc&quot;.
Function is here:
