Attempted Relative Imports Beyond Top-level Package?

I have a directory structure like the following: game/ graphics/ __init__.py render.py sound/ __init__.py echo.py __init__.py and

Solution 1:

Do you need a relative import?

Can you use from game.sound.echo import echo_test?

Though, since you haven't shown the exact stacktrace, the error could be coming from echo.py. An attempted "import beyond top-level package" is self-explanatory, though.

PEP 328 could be worth a read

Solution 2:

I'm guessing that you are trying the following, or something similar: python render.py

But this is treating render.py as a script and not a component of a package. If you write an external script, where you import render, and then test render functions, the imports should work fine.
