Python 3.8.10 : Importing my own module results in AttributeError [duplicate]

I am working on a project that requires a library of dictionaries, as .py files, to be imported into another script 'test_dicts.py' to test them.

When using the code:

from my_repo.config.dictionaries import dictionary1

It will bring in dictionary1, and I can then reference the dict within the py file by doing:

print(dictionary1.dict_name)

However, I will have hundreds of said dictionaries, and it would be useful to import the whole library as one, and reference each by doing:

import my_repo.config.dictionaries as dictsprint(dicts.dictionary1.dict_name)

I have seen this style of import used throughout other similar project, and cannot understand that when I try this, I am prompted with the error:

AttributeError: module 'my_repo.config.dictionaries' has no attribute 'dictionary1'

My working directory is structured as so:

- my_repo    - __init__.py    - config        - __init__.py        - dictionaries            - __init__.py            - dictionary1.py            - dictionary2.py            - dictionary3.py    - tests        - __init__.py        - test_dicts.py

I have my local repo pip installed with the '-e' editable parameter.
