I would like to import the Tokenizer class located in tokenizer.py script into generate_vocab.py script. Here's my tree view:

 - bin
   - tokenizer
     - tokenizer.py
   - tools
     - generate_vocab.py

What I would like to do is to call something like: from ../tokenizer import tokenizer.py.

Do I need to use a __init__.py script to make my bin/tokenizer directory a module and then call from ... import tokenizer ?

have yout tried from ..tokenizer import tokenizer? – Gabriel Belini Jul 04 '17 at 14:03
yes plug in a `__init__.py` and try `from ../tokenizer import tokenizer`, that should work – Marvin Taschenberger Jul 04 '17 at 14:04

@MarvinTaschenberger When I try `from ..tokenizer import tokenizer` I get `ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package` Do I need a `__init__.py` script inside my `tools` directory as well ? – Blockost Jul 04 '17 at 14:23
