I have a project structure that looks like:

enter image description here

The file greet.py is given as:

def greet_morning(message):
    print("Hello, {}", message)

def greet_evening(message):
    print("Evening message: {}", message)

and the file msg.py is given as :

import sys
import os
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())


from greet.greet import greet_morning

greet_morning("heyy")

When I try to run msg.py as python message/msg.py, I get an error saying ImportError: No module named greet.greet. I am running this file from the root. Why do I get this error, when I have already added the cwd in the system path?

I think is 

from untitled.greet.greet import greet_morning

if still doesnt work, add:

import sys
sys.path.append('../')

edit

I think you may find all the possible solutions here Importing files from different folder

  • It still gives an error `ImportError: No module named untitled.greet.greet` – Amanda Oct 03 '19 at 07:04
  • After I added `__init__.py` in all directories, it works but with `from greet.greet import greet_morning`. I had to remove `untitled`. Could you help me understand this? – Amanda Oct 03 '19 at 07:09
  • @Amanda , yes, basically you are making visible your parallel modules by adding them into the sys.path – developer_hatch Oct 03 '19 at 07:10
  • Will I need to do this in all the files inside the project? – Amanda Oct 03 '19 at 08:55

You have missed the file __init__.py in your module.

Just create an empty file __init__.py in greet folder.
