Relative Imports
I'm having trouble figuring out how to do relative imports (I'm not too familiar with Python modules).
My folder structure is:
/notebooks
-- /public
---- my-notebook.py
-- /private
-- util.py
/src
-- app.py
In my-notebook.py, which I'm running from the project root via
marimo edit notebooks/public/my-notebook.py, I have:
But I get: ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
I imagine this is an obvious fix for someone with experience here! Just looking to set up re-use of shared setup functions across notebooks4 Replies
marimo edit notebooks/public/my-notebook.py
marimo edit does the same thing as python when it comes to sys.path. In particular notebooks/public/ will be on sys.path, but the directory from which you're running marimo won't be. That's why notebooks can't be found.
You could manually set PYTHONPATH before running marimo, which I think will work. We could also consider appending the current directory to sys.path but I think that might break Python convention and lead to other issues, not sureI see. Is there a way to use modules to get around it so it’s not a relative import and I don’t need to think about that?
I wish I had a straightforward answer for you, but if you google this you'll find a lot of confusion on the topic.
If possible, you could organize your project into a Python package, and do an editable install of it. But that feels kind of hacky too. I can see if there's any way we can do something that just works for our users ...
I have been googling and finding a lot of confusion :/
I'm just trying to make it so I can do:
Where warehouse is just a preconnected Clickhouse object, maybe with some common dataframes ready to initialize across.
Just a function and variable or two 🙂
