Relative and Absolute Imports

• We have imported our own modules from
  • current directory

• All the examples of imports done so far are referred as absolute imports.

import utils

• Python supports relative imports
  • if utils.py in the same directory from . import utils
  • if utils.py is in the parent directory from .. import utils
• Refer Here for the changeset to fix the No Module utils found by using relative imports
