Packages are namespaces which contain multiple packages and modules.Each package in Python is a directory which MUST contain a special file called __init__.py

Python Package

Your directory structure should be like this if you want to import modules or package

Now you can import module a.py in module b.py or module b.py in module a.py

If you want to install custom lib then create setup.py the file where coustomlib directory exists ( create setup.py outside the coustomlib directory or along coustomlib )

#!/usr/bin/env pythonfrom distutils.core import setup
from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(name='coustomlib',
  version='1.0',
  description='Python coustom lib ',
  author='your name',
  author_email='name@mail.in',
  packages=find_packages(),
 )    

for install run

python setup.py install

After install coustomlib you can import it any module

import coustomlib

Or

from coustomlib.module1 import a
