    <p>I'm trying to import a package from my project which is not in the same directory as scrapy is in. The directory structure for my project is as follows:</p> <pre><code>Main __init__.py /XPaths __init.py XPaths.py /scrapper scrapy.cfg /scrapper __init.py settings.py items.py pipelines.py /spiders myspider.py </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to access <code>xpaths.py</code> from within <code>myspider.py</code>. Here are my attempts:</p> <p>1) <code>from Main.XPaths.XPaths import XPathsHandler</code></p> <p>2) <code>from XPaths.XPaths import XPathsHandler</code></p> <p>3) <code>from ..Xpaths.XPaths import XPathsHandler</code></p> <p>These failed with the error:</p> <pre><code>ImportError: No module named ....... </code></pre> <p>My last attempt was:</p> <p>4) <code>from ...Xpaths.XPaths import XPathsHandler</code></p> <p>Which also failed with the error:</p> <pre><code>ValueError: Attempted relative import beyond toplevel package </code></pre> <p>What am I doing wrong? <code>XPaths</code> is independent from Scrapy, therefore the file structure has to stay that way.</p> <p>//EDIT</p> <p>After some further debugging following @alecxe comment, I tried adding the path to <code>main</code> inside the <code>sys.path</code>, and print it before importing xpaths. The weird thing is, the <code>scrapper</code> directory gets appended to the path when I run scrapy. Here's what I added:</p> <pre><code>'C:\\Users\\LaptOmer\\Code\\Python\\PythonBackend\\Main' </code></pre> <p>And here's what I get when I print <code>sys.path</code>:</p> <pre><code>'C:\\Users\\LaptOmer\\Code\\Python\\PythonBackend\\Main\\scrapper' </code></pre> <p>Why does scrapy append that to the path?</p>

    1. COThe first one should work if you append the `Main` package to `sys.path` - give it a try.

    2. COI tried it now but it didn't work - still getting the same errors.

    3. COAre you sure that is the same path? Scrapy adds his own when run: https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/blob/1e2ee76df26cd86e8a6ed1b86879aacfce0a44a8/scrapy/utils/conf.py#L47

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.
