<s>[INST] Importing modules from parent folder I am running Python 2.5.
This is my folder tree:
ptdraft/
  nib.py
  simulations/
    life/
      life.py

(I also have __init__.py in each folder, omitted here for readability)
How do I import the nib module from inside the life module? I am hoping it is possible to do without tinkering with sys.path.
Note: The main module being run is in the ptdraft folder.
 [/INST] You could use relative imports (python >= 2.5):
from ... import nib

(Whatâs New in Python 2.5) PEP 328: Absolute and Relative Imports
EDIT: added another dot '.' to go up two packages
