Intra-package import

Hi all,

I have a problem with intra-package import. Assuming this is
my 
directory structure:

dws/
       __init__.py
      
       common/
             threadpool.py

       dal/
             d_connect.py

How can I, in d_connect.py, import a class from
../common/threadpool.py, 
say ThreadPool.py?
Basically I am trying to do a C equivalent of #include 
"../include/my_header.h".

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Maurice

If dws is in the python path, you can do "from
dws.common.threadpool  
import ThreadPool".  If dws is not in sys.path, perhaps
you should  
put it there? 

(At least in pre-2.4, I'm not aware of a nice answer for
this except  
for to put your package into site-packages or add it to
sys.path via  
another method.  Other people may have better ideas for
you.)

What Kevin said is the best answer.
I can't think of a reason not to have your top level package
in your path.

Otherwise look at imp.find_module and imp.load_module
