[PySide] Help importing compiled Qt resource file from subfolder

[Adrian Herrmann]

Hello Henry,

for your current project structure it appears that this line in helpers.py would be enough for the import to work:

      from images.compiledresource_rc import someFunction

This should work regardless of the working directory, as long as helpers.py is imported from main.py, because the directory that main.py sits in is always added to PYTHONPATH.

Let us know if you have further questions or problems.
Best regards,

Betreff: [PySide] Help importing compiled Qt resource file from subfolder

Hello,

I have spend the last few hours trying to figure this out and now I have to ask for some help.

My project has grown to the point where is needs to be more organized, so I am moving modules from one huge folder into subfolders.  I use a resource file in QtDesigner and then compile it resulting in a "something_rc.py".  With the "one huge folder" approach I just imported this file into any module that uses dialogs - this is the only way that the images would show up in the widgets.  Now I am struggling to do this with the folder structure.

I made a simple example that shows the issue.  The tree is below and the attached zip file contains everything.

pkg
│   main.py
│   test_local.py
│
├───images
│       compiledresource_rc.py
│
└───utils
        helpers.py
        util.py
        __init__.py


Briefly, main can import test_local and util without any problems.  The issue is that if helpers needs to import the compiled resource file compiledresource_rc.  I swear that I have tried the exact syntax from different Internet resources and I cannot get it to work.

Can somebody please help me deal with this resource file?

Thank you for your help,
Henry
