Hello Dave.

If you are importing a module from a directory other than your
current directory, then the directory is effectively a package.
In order to make a directory into a package, the directory must
contain a file named __init__.py.
 
The file __init__.py can be empty or can contain code.  It will be
evaluated the first time (and only the first time) an application
imports the package or something in it.

It must  be someother method that I used, because
 
there is no file named _init_.py is directory math\factoring
 
 
Is it that the convention must be different for a windows machine?
 
C:\Math\Factoring>dir *init*
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 4748-654D
 
 Directory of C:\Math\Factoring
 
File Not Found
