A package is a directory that has an __init__.py file. That file can
be empty, or contain some initialization code. In your original
example, subpack1 and subpack2 are packages. By adding an empty
__init__.py file under \App, I made App into a package, which allowed
me to execute "import App.subpack1.module1" in main.py.
