If I am in mypackage.foo and I want to access mypackage.collections I should be able to say something like that without ambiguity or that much inference or directory searching. If mypackage.colletions is not found inside the same directory as mypackage.foo, often I DON'T WANT Python to helpfully go searching around other places for it which sys.path will do. Instead what I probably want is Python to give me an error.

What's wrong with PEP 328 relative imports?

In mypackage.foo, use

    from . import collections

to import mypackage.collections.


This has been part of the language since ~2.5
