I have a package directory structure as follows
root-
|
Common (contains __init__.py file)
WindowsComponents (contains __init__.py file)
...
I would like modules in the WindowsComponents directory to be able to
import some modules from the Common directory. In my first pass, I was
able to append sys.path ( sys.path.append('../Common') ) in each module
that wants to import from Common, but this feels "clunky". Is there a
"standard"/"best" way to accomplish this?

I think I have an answer to my own question. In the
WindowsComponents/__init__.py file, I have the following, that feels
like a better answer for the problem. Is there a better answer than
this?
import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'Common'))

So you now have a "Common" package. And it might contain a "mustard"
module.

Agreed. You probably want to avoid messing with sys.path whenever
possible.
Is there a "standard"/"best" way to accomplish this?
So "root" should already be on your sys.path/PYTHONPATH.
Then in say file "root/WindowsComponents/spam.py":
from Common import mustard
...
mustard.attr

import os, sys sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'Common'))
My solution to this is to use a .pth file. In my site-packages folder
under the python installation, I have a file named infidel.pth. This
file contains the path to the folder where I put all my python source
code (C:\src\py). In your case, you could have the path to your 'root'
folder.
One of my projects is structured like this:
C:\src\py
infidel\
__init__.py
models\
__init__.py
basemodel.py
views\
__init__.py
baseview.py
controllers\
__init__.py
Now the controllers package can do imports like this:
from infidel.models import basemodel
from infidel.views import baseview
The point is that the .pth file in site-packages adds custom paths to
your sys.path

Err... if the script is called from somewhere else, this won't work.
replace os.getcwd() with os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

Right, I anticipate the script(s) won't be called from elsewhere,
but.... Or better, use a .pth or add the needed path in your PYTHONPATH
THis would be ideal if I could gaurantee that the users (other software
testers) would install the *.pth file.
thanks for all the suggestions.
