|   |-- __init__.py                       - marker for making directory a module
|   `-- module_sub.py                     - contains fun_sub and fun_sub_2
|-- module_root.py                        - module with fun_root
|-- simple_explicit_import.py             - will fail to execute fun_sub_2
|                                           as we don't import it explicitly
|-- simple_import_all.py                  - import all symbols from module_sub
|                                           and module_root; we don't have to prefix
|                                           symbols with module names
`-- simple_import_module.py               - import modules only; we have to prefix
                                            imported symbols with name of the module
                                            eg.: module_root.fun_root()

Clonning

> git clone https://github.com/mkowsiak/pythonmodules

Running

> cd pythonmodules
> python pythonmodules/simple_explicit_import.py
> python pythonmodules/simple_import_all.py
> python pythonmodules/simple_import_module.py

# you can run all the samples using find
> find . -name "simple_*" -exec python {} \;

Known limitations

Samples are realy basic, and are here to illustrate how to import modules inside your code. Don't expect anything fancy here.
