First, I realized I did not need profile.py so I removed that line of code. What you say about not importing directories makes sense. However the following doesn't: My Structure has the following -FGDC (directory) - __init__.py - profile.py - DISTRIB.py The line I had that read from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile failed as you said it should. However, this line works like a charm: from Products.Resources.FGDC import DISTRIB BTW, I always interpreted this to mean from <directory> import <module> Can you explain the *why's* on this one?? Even though I can move forward with my coding, my mind is still stuck on why this is?

Go back and look a little closer at the difference between what I typedand what you're using.

Both your examples attempt to import from directories, something you simply can't do... at least not *this* way. In Python, the word "module" refers, typically, to a .py file. You can't find a module called FGDC because (according to your diagram) there isn't one.

Once you re-work import to import names from modules, I think you'll have better luck.

I have tried both. The name of the class I am trying to import is profile. So I put from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile and I get 'cannot import name profile'

When I try from Products.Resources.FGDC import * I get 'no module named FGDC'. But I promise there is and there is a __init__ file there this time. This module is used from many other parts in my product.

I have the PYTHONPATH right and an __init__ in both the FGDC and extensions folders. I am at a loss for what is happening here.

Any help is appreciated, this is the last task before deployment.

This is a different problem. I think what you want is:

import * from Products.Resources.FGDC.profile

or

from Products.Resources.FGDC.profile import NAMES_GO_HERE

I am attempting to import another class for use and Zope now complains 'cannot import name profile'.

My Product structure in a bit more detail is:

Products - Resources -FGDC -__init__.py -profile.py -BIO -scripts -script1.py -dtml -www -extensions -DISTINFO.py which contains a class of the same name

In DISTINFO.py, I have an import statement like this: from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here??

Thanks in advance, Stacy
