I have a directory called mcpy. This directory contains some modules an __init__.py and two directories. These are: mcpi, coca_lang. Now when I go into coca_lang and try to do:

from .. import mcpi

I get this error:

Parent Module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import

I am trying to import mcpi from inside the dir coca_lang. What am I doing wrong??? I am using Win 7 and Python 3.4

You mention you run: `from .. import mcpi` What is `...`? – Jacob Vlijm Sep 13 '16 at 14:52
@JacobVlijm I looked it up and that is supposed to tell Python to look for mcpi in the parent dir – user164017 Sep 13 '16 at 14:53
