I am trying to use Python namespace packages concept to split my library across multiple directories. In general, it works, but I have a problem regarding importing names to projects package level.
My project structure is following:
project1/coollibrary/__init__.py
from __future__ import absolute_import
from pkgutil import extend_path
__path__ = extend_path(__path__, __name__)
from .foomodule import foo
project1/coollibrary/foomodule.py
def foo():
print ('foo')
project2/coollibrary/__init__.py
from __future__ import absolute_import
from pkgutil import extend_path
__path__ = extend_path(__path__, __name__)
from .barmodule import bar
project2/coollibrary/barmodule.py
def bar():
print ('bar')
Both projects are in the PATH:
$ echo ${PYTHONPATH}
/home/timo/Desktop/example/project1:/home/timo/Desktop/example/project2
And I am running code from here:
$ pwd
/home/timo/Desktop/example
$ python3
>>> import coollibrary
>>> coollibrary.foo() # works
foo
>>> coollibrary.bar() # does not work (the problem)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bar'
>>> import coollibrary.barmodule
>>> coollibrary.barmodule.bar() # works
bar
How to fix the code so that I could import both foo and bar directly from coollibrary package. Also, is there a solution that works for both Python2.7 and Python3.4 (other versions not required).

Starting with Python 3.3, you can use PEP 420 -- Implicit Namespace Packages.
Basically, you would remove your __init__.py file in both repositories, and add:
setup(
...
packages=['coollibrary.{foomodule/barmodule}'],
namespace_packages=['coollibrary'],
...
)
to your setup.py.
Can't help you with Python 2.7 though...
