Question on python modules

[txjmb]

First, thank you for this cookiecutter recipe. It has been a very helpful starting point for our project.

I think we have most things working well. However, I was wondering if you could help with a specific "issue". It's not a serious one, it just creates unnecessary code.

If you try to import a class from the namespace in Python, you cannot. You always have to namespace-qualify your reference. So, if I have a class in cpp namespace cppproject called foo, I may want to:

from cppproject import LogLevels

and then use LogLevels instead of cppproject.LogLevels in my Python code.

However, if I try the import, I get this:

`In [1]: import cppyy_test_bindings

Module cppyy_test_bindings.libcppyy_test_bindingsCppyy not importable in path ['/home/mbohan/source/cppyy-test-bindings/build', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/bin', '/home/afrancis/source/common', '/home/afrancis/source/battery/common', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python37.zip', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/mbohan/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/extensions', '/home/mbohan/.ipython']. In [2]: from cppyy_test_bindings import cppproject

In [3]: from cppproject import LogLevels

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 from cppproject import LogLevels

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cppproject'`

Python doesn't see cppproject as a module, so I can't import members from it.

Is there any way to do this? If not, we can continue to cppproject.x for every member we want to access.
