* the most confusing part of Python i think (it’s too simple, that’s why)

Very good article: http://www.stereoplex.com/blog/understanding-imports-and-pythonpath

Good discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/72852/how-to-do-relative-imports-in-python

Python imports use the environment variable $PYTHONPATH to search for packages.

Here is what I currently have in my .bashrc file:

export PYTHONPATH=.:/usr/bin/python2.7:/work/bcom/stats-processing

Relative imports do not work as they should for now.

Therefore, people usually create a file in the root folder, which imports everything needed.
