:p.. whew!! well i followed your instructions and everything went well
with inputting the sys.executable into my Project's cmd shell. Sadly
my winners.py still can't directly access silverware.py in the
directory further up. Not to worry though, i spent all of yesterday
and most of today trying to get it to work, im mentally tired with
this import stuff, i just want to work through the rest of the book
now:) Thats whats important. maybe i'll revisit relative importing
when i actually need to use it. I'm still a far way away from those
types of projects as im still reading beginner tutorials, and the
normal absolute imports seem to be doing just fine. Thanks for all
your help and efforts:)
