Importing and source structure troubles

[Tiago Stürmer Daitx]

The "best" way depends on how you have structured your program. From
what you've told I believe that setting the directories like
 dir1
    dir2
    dir3
 
is a good approach.
 
As for the import errors you're getting, check this section from the tutorial:
    http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008400000000000000000

It describes how to setup packages in Python - and that's exactly what
you need. You'll see that in order to import dir3 from dir2 you must
import the full name of the package (ie. import dir1.dir3). See the
intra-packages reference
    http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008420000000000000000
