Title is kinda confusing, but basically, I followed the Python packaging process to set up my Python package development environment. My project structure is layed out the same, except for a .venv in the root directory (not in src), and additional Python files in the src/package_username directory.

I can build my package fine, but when I go to import it into other projects, I have to import it like import package_username.file or from package_username.file import SomethingInFile. For other python packages, I would only need to do import package or from package import Something.

How can I set up by build process to remove the need for the first portion in my import statements so it matches other packages like termcolor? Is there something I need to add in my __init__.py file?

I don't think that there are any other options than renaming 'src/package_username' to 'src/package'. But even if there was, I would advice against it.
