ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'createCredentialsXML'-CodePudding

I have a question about my new python project. It is the first time that I use different folders for my project.

I have the following structure:

project
  src
    securityFunc
      __init__.py
      createCredentialsXML.py
    main.py

I work in PyCharm environment. After pressing Play i get the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\project\src\main.py", line 1, in <module>
    from securityFunc import *
  File "C:\project\src\securityFunc\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from createCredentialsXML import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'createCredentialsXML'

My main function looks like this:

from securityFunc import *

if __name__ == '__main__':
    generate_key()

__init__.py:

from createCredentialsXML import *

createCredentialsXML.py:

def generate_key():
    key = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(os.urandom(2048))

    with open("../key/secret.key", "wb") as key_file:
        key_file.write(key)

I tried using Path or sys.path to fix the problem. But it does not work.

Can you please tell me how to fix the problem?

CodePudding user response：

createCredentialsXML.py works in the module securityFunc; you must specify the scope of the import. Using

from securityFunc.createCredentialsXML import *

in securityFunc.__init__.py should work.

CodePudding user response：

Since you're doing a relative import, you need to add a . before your module name:

from .createCredentialsXML import *

The dot means the module is found in the same directory as the code importing the code.
