My Robot Project looks like this:
lib/
   __init__.py
   utils.py
   foo.py
__init__.robot
sample.robot
I write some util functions into utils.py and use it in foo.py. However, when I run robot with sample.robot, it throws an exception: 
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/Users/tuanchauict/Desktop/demo/sample.robot': Importing test library '/Users/tuanchauict/Desktop/demo/lib/foo.py' failed: ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
