Issues starting and importing huey from different folder

I have this folder structure.

huey_test init.py main.py huey_test/config init.py config.py huey_test/tasks init.py tasks.py

I modified main.py to import like the following…

from config.config import huey
from tasks.tasks import count_beans

I would expect this to work but I get “ImportError: cannot import name ‘huey’” when running huey_consumer.exe main.huey.

If I leave the config.py in the same folder as the main but move tasks it works by doing…

from config import huey
from tasks.tasks import count_beans

How can I import everything appropriately in a different folder structure?

I apologize. I see what I did wrong. Nothing was wrong with my imports in the actual python code, but what was being sent to huey_consumer.py as the parameters.

I had:

C:\Users<username>Documents\dev\huey_test> python "C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\Scripts\huey_consumer.py" **hueytest\main.huey**

I thought you were looking for an actual PATH to the object and not the object itself. So instead of hueytest\main.huey I should have sent hueytest.main.huey as the parameters.

This is for anyone else that runs into the same problem.

I’m sorry but this isn’t the best place to ask this type of question. Try StackOverflow. The huey docs are pretty clear on how to set things up: http://huey.readthedocs.io/en/latest/imports.html

And at the end of the day it’s just Python and the way the import statement works…

I’m a beginner and I came here being tired of trying to configure celery with Django. I’m having a hard time understanding how to run a simple taks with Huey also, so I’m either too dumb, or the documentation is not clear enough.

https://github.com/coleifer/huey/issues/410 in this issue you said you’re not going to repeat yourself. That’s actually the problem with the docs, I believe. In the Django section, it assumes the reader already knows how to use huey standalone, while I don’t really care about that. I just want to plug it into my Django app and run tasks.
