    <p>I'm getting a really weird problem in my long experience with python..</p> <p>In advance i want to say that i want to know <strong>WHY does this happen</strong>, and not how to change my code or how to fix it because i can do it too.</p> <p>I'm using python2.7.3 and using the <code>__future__ absolute_import</code> feature. I have a little complex module structure.. I have a module <code>q.x.y.z</code>. If at the top I do <code>import q.x.a.b</code> it works, but if i do <code>import q.x.a.b as _b</code> it fails saying that q.x doesn't have "a" (which have been imported a couple of times before this module) anyone has enough experience to know what's happening? I'm pretty sure its not a circular import problem because I only need to remove the "<code>as _b</code>" and it magically works. And also is not a naming problem because I'm really careful about that.</p> <p>file structure is as follows:</p> <pre><code>q/ + __init__.py + main.py #execution entry point --- x/ + __init__ + a/ + __init__ + b.py + y/ + __init__ + z.py # import q.x.a.b </code></pre> <p>its ran from the parent folder of q pkg> python q\main.py and it contains this:</p> <pre><code>from __future__ import absolute_import import sys, os if __name__=='__main__': sys.path[0] = os.getcwd() import q q.run() </code></pre> <p>a little related to circular imports but yet the main question is <strong>WHY does it happens when i use "as"?</strong></p> <p>the traceback goes something like this:</p> <pre><code>q/main.py: q.run() q/x/__init__.py : from q.x import a, y, k q/x/a/__init__.py : from q.x.a import d, e, f q/x/a/f.py : from q.x.y import z as _z q/x/y/__init__.py : from q.x.y import g, h, z q/x/y/h.py : import q.x.a.d as _d </code></pre> <p>could this has something to do? <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/1835089/260242">https://stackoverflow.com/a/1835089/260242</a> or this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/11309252/260242">https://stackoverflow.com/a/11309252/260242</a></p> <p>a sample of the code, which actually fails... go to test/q/x/y/h.py and change import ... as _d to import ... and you'll see <a href="http://puu.sh/16C3j" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://puu.sh/16C3j</a></p>

    1. COHow do you execute your code? I mean, what is the content of "main" and which is your working directory when you launch it?

    2. CO@Nande -- It helps if you `edit` your question and add that information there. That makes it a lot easier for us to parse, etc.

    3. CORegarding `sys.path[0] = os.getcwd()`: are you positive you want to overwrite the first element of `sys.path` and not prepend your cwd, as in `sys.path[0:0] = [os.getcwd()]`?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
