I am working on my first major python application and am experiencing some environmental issues. I am trying to use the python console (in pycharm). When I start the console, I get this -
sys.path.extend(['/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus', '/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus/gitflow', '/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus/bin', '/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus/tests'])
when i do this -
>>> sys.path ['/usr/local/pycharm/helpers/pydev', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.7.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gitdb-0.5.4-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/smmap-0.8.2-py2.7.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/async-0.6.1-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client', '/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus', '/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus/gitflow', '/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus/bin', '/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus/tests']
now, if I try to import for one of my project files, I have to do, for example
import gitflow.conf.configmanager
instead of simple
import conf.configmanager
The problem with this is that the configuration manager has an import that belongs to the gitflow folder, and those cannot be found.
I suggested that I ask what is the command to tell the python console for an efficient transition
cd gitflow
** a little more information
>>> os.getcwd() '/home/scphantm/Code/gitflow_plus/gitflow' >>> from conf.configmanager import ConfigManager Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named configmanager
Directory structure
**
gitflow_plus (project root folder) bin gitflow bin conf __init__.py configmanager.py class ConfigManager __init__.py exceptions.py class exception1 class exception2 class exception3 tests fixtures gitflow helpers usecase
=================== more attempts
I read and I found this stuff:
>>> __name__ '__main__' >>> __package__ >>> __package__ = 'gitflow' >>> from conf.configmanager import ConfigManager /usr/local/pycharm/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py:1: RuntimeWarning: Parent module 'gitflow' not found while handling absolute import try: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named conf.configmanager
================= more information

======================== hey little breakthru. I took a step back and thought that the word "conf" is a reserved word or package that already exists somewhere. so I renamed it to config. now i get
>> import config.configmanager Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/scphantm/code/gitflow_plus/gitflow/config/configmanager.py", line 7, in <module> from exceptions import NoRepositoryObject ImportError: cannot import name NoRepositoryObject
Now from the directory structure that you see above, you see that the exceptions are at the root of the project. why now he can find the module and class, but the code of the module cannot find something in the root?
================================= You guys can pull out my project if you want to give it a bang. him at
git@github.com :scphantm/gitflow_plus.git
im still a dead end.
================ I am still learning commands. when i do it

big long thing but interesting thing is the line
'exceptions': <module 'exceptions' (built-in)>
The funny thing is that a file containing all my exceptions is also called an exception. as soon as I renamed this file to flow_exceptions, everything lit up and worked fine. Well, it only took half a day = -)
