Hey,

so I'm upgrading my package structure. I finally found out that by importing with __import__ instead of the regular import, I don't have to know the name of the package before hand. Here's the problem: the original code works:

import top_pkg.desc_pkg
import fact

def fun():
[INDENT]top_pkg.desc_pkg.cls = fact.new()
[/INDENT]

but the new version does not:

mod_name = __import__(__name__)
import fact

def fun():
[INDENT]mod_name.cls = fact.new()
[/INDENT] 

Both of the code's are in a package's __init__.py. For some reason when later calling the module's cls-attribute, it doesn't exist.

Any ideas why ??

This problem just got solved.
The __import__ only returned the top package name, but giving it the fromlist-argument solves that issue. After that it sort of works.
So it'd go like this:

curr_mod = __import__(__name__,fromlist=[''])
