Problem with ulw in Python no module named examples.console

[kevin-j-morse]

Hi @radiladrillingvibe

I am not sure why this project is structured the way it is but with Python 3. I found I had to add the following two lines to a_out_scan.py in order to be able to run it.

import sys

sys.path.append(r"C:\Users\Kevin\Documents\Python")

For me, the examples folder is inside of the the Python folder.

I could then run python.exe .\examples\console\a_out_scan.py from within the Python folder.

My unofficial fork puts the examples back into the main package. So instead of configuring your IDE as outlined in the readme, you can do
pip install git+https://github.com/blakeNaccarato/mcculw.git#egg=mcculw
in a Python virtualenv (or put it in your requirements.txt).

I think my "fix" is overly-complicated, compared to the suggestion by @kevin-j-morse in #14 (comment) above. At first I tried structuring the fork so that examples would install as a base-level package. Then I put examples back in mcculw, but this would require changing all imports from import examples... to import mcculw.examples.... Ultimately, just manually downloading examples.zip, extracting them, and appending the resulting directory to path as seen above is the way to go.

Since this issue is still open, may I suggest a slight variation to #14 (comment)

import os
import sys
source_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
home_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(source_dir, os.pardir, os.pardir))
sys.path.append(home_dir)
