Python accessing modules from package that is distributed over different directories?

You can't without an extreme amount of trickery that pulls one package structure into the other. Python requires that all modules in a package be under a single subdirectory. See the os source to learn how it handles os.path.

Python does indeed remember that there was a xxx package. This is pretty much necessary to achieve acceptable performance, once modules and packages are loaded they are cached. You can see which modules are loaded by looking the the dictionary sys.modules.Sys.

Modules is a normal dictionary so you can remove a package from it to force it to be reloaded like below: import sys print sys. Modules import xml print sys. Modules del sys.

Modules'xml' print sys. Modules Notice that after importing the xml package it is the dictionary, however it is possible to remove it from that dictionary too. This is a point I make for pedagogical purposes only, I would not recommend this approach in a real application.

Also if you need to use your misc and util packages together this would not work so great. If at all possible rearrange your source code structure to better fit the normal Python module loading mechanism.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
