[Eric] Importing files located in other directories: what's the best approach?

[Geert Vancompernolle]

Hi,

Suppose I have the following hypothetical directory structure:

./projects/myproject/main.py
                    /ui/mainDlg.py
                    /ui/mainDlg1.py
                    /ui/mainDlg2.py
                    /data/mainData.py

Now, suppose ./ui/mainDlg.py depends on ./ui/mainDlg1.py, 
./ui/mainDlg2.py and ./data/mainData.py.
Also, suppose ./main.py depends on ./ui/mainDlg.py (and so, indirectly 
depends on the other files), what's the best approach to import these 
files in their respective dependent file?

There might be different solutions, like extending the sys.path variable 
or working with __init__.py files in the corresponding (sub)directories, 
but I guess there should be one nice approach to solve such issues.

Any suggestions?
