Importing __init__

I am trying out the answer in this.

The __init__.py file in a folder named MyLibs contains:

LogFile = r'D:\temp'

In utils.py in the same folder MyLibs, I tried various ways to access the LogFile variable:

from __init__ import *
print LogFile     #Gives: NameError: name 'LogFile' is not defined`:

and:

import __init__
print MyLibs.LogFile    #Gives: NameError: name 'MyLibs' is not defined

I got the errors while executing from MyLibs.utils import *

What is the fix I must do? I prefer a method where I can reference LogFile directly without having to add namespace prefixes.

My mistake.

The updated __init__.py was somehow not executed. I started a new Python session and it worked.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Not sure how to do this with 2.7's implicit relative imports, but you could try this:

from __future__ import absolute_import
from . import LogFile

If you're running the Python module directly, you need to run it with python -m MyLibs.utils rather than python MyLibs/utils.py.
