Hi,
I'm writing a python product containing around 40-50 modules, each
one with some dtml files. At the moment I got all the modules .py
files in the product directory, and a www directory with
subdirectories for each module.
Products
| -- MyProduct
|-- Module1.py
|-- Module2.py
| www
|-- Module1
|-- addModuleForm.dtml
|-- Module2
|-- index.dtml
|-- Utils.py
I want to change this to a layout where all the files for a module
are grouped together:
Products
|-- MyProduct
|-- Module1
|-- Module1.py
|-- www
|-- addModuleForm.dtml
|-- Module2
|-- Module2.py
|-- www
|-- index.dtml
|-- Utils.py
But I'm finding this very hard to work with. In Module1, importing
from Utils require doing 'from Products.MyProduct.Utils', and
importing from another Module2 requires 'from
Products.MyProduct.Module2.Module2'.
Is there any way to set this up so imports like 'import Utils' and
'import Module2' would work in Module1? As a bonus, can I also get
__init__.py files in each module directory to be executed?
TIA
Itai
