Writing apps without using relative imports

I've noticed the push by Guido and others to use absolute imports
instead of relative imports. I've always enjoyed the ease of relative
imports, but am starting to understand that "explicit is better than
implicitly" as the Python philosophy goes. I'm trying to develop a
strategy for writing packages using only absolute imports and would
really like to know what others have learned.

In the directory /var/www/dynamo/xsl is the basic xsl file for xhtml documents /var/www/dynamo/xsl/xhtml.xsl. In this file there is an import statement: <xsl:import href="xhtml/basic.xhtml.xsl" />. This import statement should load /var/www/dynamo/xsl/xhtml/basic.xhtml.xsl as far as I know. The current document is /var/www/dynamo/xml/index.xml (.xml documents are handled by the PHP parser on my server). This is the error message I get:...

Jargons of Info Tech industry (A Love of Jargons) Xah Lee, 2002 Feb People in the computing field like to spur the use of spurious jargons.

Hello I'm about to write a prototype for a business application, but since this my first real web application, I'm looking for a good book or article that sums up the different issues web developers will encounter when coming from the world of dedicated applications (VB, Delphi, etc.) I'm thinking of issues specific to web apps like the statelessness of HTTP, dealing with the back button, etc.

I'm reading the "What's New" section of the 2.5 docs, and I'm a little confused by the last section of "Absolute and Relative Imports": ----------------------------------------------- For example, code in the A.B.C module can do: from . import D # Imports A.B.D from .. import E # Imports A.E from ..F import G # Imports A.F.G -----------------------------------------------

Hi, I'm a newbie at Python. :) Right now it's not letting me import * from any relative package name--i.e., a name that starts with a dot. For instance, none of the following work: from . import * from .sibiling import * from .. import * from ..parent_sibling import * ....and so on. The same error occurs:

Since their introduction in Python 2.5 I only reviewed the new "relative import" notation briefly by reading the "What's new in Python 2.5" article. Now I wanted checkout if I get comfortable with them. Opening the tutorial I found following notice ( 6.4.2 ): "Note that both explicit and implicit relative imports are based on the name of the current module. Since the name of the main module is always "__main__", modules

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
