Version 1.14.2 from PYPI has worse 'import' lines

[Alexey-T]

I used version 1.0.0 which had simple imports:

import ...
import ....

Now I got version 1.4.2 from PYPI and see it has changed imports like this:

_main = __import__("cssbeautifier", globals(), locals(), ["_main"])._main

This now does not work if I put the module to CudaText plugin:

Traceback (most recent call last):
......
  File "/home/user/.config/cudatext/py/cuda_fmt_css_format/cssbeautifier/__init__.py", line 30, in default_options
    _main = __import__("cssbeautifier", globals(), locals(), ["_main"])._main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cssbeautifier'
ERROR: Exception in CudaText for format: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cssbeautifier'

Maybe you can change 'import' lines to usual ones? like this

from . import .....
from . import ...

I assume you mean v1.14.2. v1.4.2 is a long time ago.

Sorry for the inconvenience. PR #1830 (which fixed #1808) is where the change to the complex import statements was introduced. It seemed to be required, but I'm not a Python expert. If there is a better way to do this, I'm happy to look at PRs.

You're trying to use this inside https://github.com/CudaText-addons/cuda_fmt_css_format ?
Are you doing pip install cssbeautifier and then using the installed package?
Or are you trying to do something else, like copying the code into that directory?

I am trying to copy module folder to plugin directory. "complex imports" don't work there.

I am suggesting to try it on your end: change imports to relative imports.

from .nnnn import mmmmm
from . import nnn

this way is will work.

@Alexey-T
Note: cssbeautifier depends on jsbeautifier, so you might need to copy the contents of the python directory. That might fix the problem you're seeing.

This is change that will benefit you by simplifying updating your local copy of the project. As I said, you're welcome to try fixing this and I'll be happy to look a PR. I'm sorry I can't do more, but I personally don't time to work this problem.
