Hi,

I got it !

Actually, I didn't write an accurate example of my code, I thought it 
wasn't meaningful but the sub-package, in the example: spack2, had the 
same name as the package (in the example pack2) in the real code. So, 
actually it was :

python-packages
       |
       |__ pack1
       |     |
       |     |__ __init__.py
       |     |__ module1.py
       |     |__ module2.py
       |     ...
       |__ pack2
       |     |
             |__ __init__.py
             |__ spack1
             |     |
             |     |__ __init__.py
             |     |__ spack1.py
             |
             |__ pack2
                   |
                   |__ __init__.py
                   |__ pack2.py



And, In pack2.py, I wrote:

      from pack2.spack1.spack1 import aSymbol

I'm not sure of the way python processes this, but I read somewhere on 
python.org that packages and sub-packages and modules are stored in the 
same namespace, so I tried to change the layout by:

python-packages
       |
       |__ pack1
       |     |
       |     |__ __init__.py
       |     |__ module1.py
       |     |__ module2.py
       |     ...
       |__ pack2
       |     |
             |__ __init__.py
             |__ spack1
             |     |
             |     |__ __init__.py
             |     |__ spack1.py
             |
             |__ pack2D
                   |
                   |__ __init__.py
                   |__ pack2D.py


And, In pack2D.py, I wrote:

      from pack2.spack1.spack1 import aSymbol

And now it works !

Thanks a lot for having spent time on this.
