[Tutor] can't import module

[Dave S]

Here goes ...

I have two files test1 and test2 ...


dave at dave-comp:~$ ls -l

drwxr-xr-x  2 dave dave     4096 2006-07-02 17:41 test2

Two simple scripts .... parent and child ...

dave at dave-comp:~$ cd test2
dave at dave-comp:~/test2$ cat child.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: iso8859_1 -*-

def hello():
    print 'child says hello'

dave at dave-comp:~/test2$ cd ../test1
dave at dave-comp:~/test1$ cat parent.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: iso8859_1 -*-

from child import hello

def test():
    print 'parent says hello'
    hello()

test()

And I hit my problem :(

dave at dave-comp:~/test1$ ./parent.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./parent.py", line 4, in ?
    from child import hello
ImportError: No module named child


PYTHONPATH ...
