I'm brand new at python package management, and surely have done something wrong. I was encouraged to create a directory structure as follows:
bagoftricks
├── bagoftricks
│ ├── bagoftricks
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ └── bagoftricks.py
│ └── __init__.py
├── README.md
└── setup.py
bagoftricks.py contains two functions, levenshtein() and geofind().
I would like to call these as:
import bagoftricks
x = bagoftricks.levenshtein(arg1,arg2)
Instead, I find I have to do this:
import bagoftricks
x = bagoftricks.bagoftricks.levenshtein(arg1,arg2)
Is there a better way to organize my packages in the first place, without the naming redundancy?
UPDATE
So, I followed Avichal Badaya's instructions below, and removed one level of nesting. That is, I now have...
bagoftricks
├── bagoftricks
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── bagoftricks.py
├── README.md
└── setup.py
However, to call this package, I still have...
from bagoftricks.bagoftricks import geofind()
or
import bagoftricks
then
>>> bagoftricks.bagoftricks.geofind()
Rather than the desired....
from bagoftricks import geofind()
or
import bagoftricks
>>> bagoftricks.geofind()
I cannot remove that extra layer of nesting. When I try, by analogy, to remove one more level of nesting, so that my module is flat, as:
bagoftricks
├── __init__.py
├── bagoftricks.py
├── README.md
└── setup.py
I cannot build the package at all...
$ python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'bagoftricks' does not exist
What's the secret for natural imports like
