Adding Python files

Do one of the following:

• In the Workspace tool window Alt01, select the directory in which you want to create a new file, and then choose File | New from the main menu.

• Right-click the corresponding directory and select New from the context menu.

• Press AltInsert.

Select Python File file.

In the dialog that opens, type the name of the file in the corresponding field. Note that you should not type the filename extension.

You can specify the whole directory structure prepending the new filename. If the nested directories do not yet exist, they will be created.

Click OK. The new file that corresponds to the selected file template will be created under the target location.

If the names of non-existent sub-directories were specified before the new filename, the whole structure will be created under the target directory:

Consider two packages, lib1 and lib2 that reside in the same directory. Try to include a lib1 import statement into lib2.py. DataSpell reports a relative import outside of the package.

To resolve the import and avoid the warning, mark the mydir directory as a namespace package. You have the following options:

• Place the caret at the import statement, press AltEnter (or click the yellow bulb), and apply the corresponding quick-fix.

• Right-click the directory in the Project tool window and select Mark Directory as | Namespace Package.
