Ren'Py Renpy 8 import ModuleNotFoundError

[maximusleroy]

In renpy 7 you could import a module and from within the module you import other files using a relative path.

import shader

##in shader.__init__
import utilsutils

In renpy 8 you need to add the module name to any import within the module to another file in the module, otherwise it raises a ModuleNotFoundError.

import shader

##in shader.__init__
import shader.utilsutils

Is there a way to restore the renpy 7 behavior in renpy 8?

I was able to fix the problem by adding
renpy.add_python_directory("shader/")

Is there a way to automatically add the child directories, or do I have to add them one by one?

Putting the module where Ren'Py expect them, therefore in "

You must be registered to see the links

", should fix the issue.

I still get a ModuleNotFoundError in renpy 8
It seems only the parent directory is searched

Hmm...

Oh, wait, I focused too much on the exception, missing the error in the code. Put this in the __init__ file: from . import utilsutils
