execute python script question

[Gabriel Rossetti]

Hello,

I have been developping something in python that has the following
hierarchy :

project/src/myPackage/
project/src/myPackage/__init__.py
project/src/myPackage/module1.py
project/src/myPackage/module2.py
project/src/myPackage/test/
project/src/myPackage/test/__init__.py
project/src/myPackage/test/test_module1.py
project/src/myPackage/test/test_module2.py
project/src/myPackage/mySubPackage/__init__.py
project/src/myPackage/mySubPackage/module1.py
project/src/myPackage/mySubPackage/test/
project/src/myPackage/mySubPackage/test/__init__.py
project/src/myPackage/mySubPackage/test/module1.py
....

up until now, I had been executing my modules from inside
project/src/myPackage/
but I realised that that is wrong (while implementing the test suite)
and that since all my modules had relative imports (if module2 needed
module1, it would just say : import module1) I changed them to
myPackage.module1 for example. Now my test suite is happy, I can say :
test.sh myPackage.test and it tests everything. The only problem now is
that I can't execute the scripts from inside or outside the myPackage
dir, I get this :

from outside :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myPackage/module1.py", line 15, in <module>
from myPackage import constants, utils
ImportError: No module named myPackage

or if from inside it :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "module1.py", line 15, in <module>
from myPackage import constants, utils
ImportError: No module named myPackage

can anybody please help me? I don't think I understood the whole
package/module thing I think... I think some people do some sort of
importing in the __init__.py files but I'm not sure this helps in this case.

Thanks,
Gabriel
