Nice, do you know of anything similarly-comprehensive that is updated for Python 3? IIRC, Python 3 simplified things a good deal by removing "implicit" relative

  Explicit relative imports use a "." to indicate the file/package is from the current directory and not found elsewhere in sys.path: from . import foo from .foo import bar Implicit relative imports don't have such an indicator: from foo import bar In py2, that second one could be a relative import or from anywhere in sys.path, while in py3 those implicit relative imports were removed so that means it'll only only look in sys.path and not the local directory. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48716943/what-is-python-implicit-relative-import https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48716943/what-is-python-...

  > IIRC, Python 3 simplified things a good deal by removing "implicit" relative imports, but I'm a little foggy on exactly what that means. Exactly that: in Python 3, if an import doesn’t start with a . it will always be absolute aka looked up from sys.path. In python 2, it would try performing a relative import (so importing a sibling module) first.
