[SOLVED] Getting an ImportError while trying to import from __init_

Getting an ImportError while trying to import from __init__.py

NOTE: Sorry if i dont format this correctly or something, Im newer to asking questions on stack overflow

Some of my code:

"""Server tools script"""

from typing import Dict
from types import FunctionType
from . import REDIS


# The rest of it

This error is what i am getting from the code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_3.8.2800.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main

    from . import REDIS
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

I Tried from overgames import REDIS but didnt work

Solution

import sys
sys.path.append('..')
from overgames import REDIS

by including the parent directory in sys.path, you can use an absolute import for REDIS
