Python packaging error
# Why does this work fine
from rescrape.AbstractScraper import RecipeScraper
RecipeScraper(url)
# But this fails with "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AbstractScraper'"
import rescrape
rescrape.AbstractScraper.RecipeScraper(url)

It just depends on the structure of the package. In this case AbstractScraper isn't imported into the __init__.py file of rescrape so it's not loaded by just import rescrape. from rescrape.AbstractScraper ... actually goes and loads the AbstractScraper module/package.

This might explain why I've had so much trouble with getting stuff to import in Python! Hurrah! Shall investigate fully later.
