Import function from sibling directory (init files does not work)

Question

I am having the same question as Import from sibling directory but, the idea of having __init__ files does not solve it.

So far I have the following structure:

main/
│   └── __init__.py
├── DirA/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── func_A.py
├── DirB/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── func_B.py

(all __init__ are empty)

I just want to use func_A in func_B - see below for the different errors when the lines are written in func_B:

from ..DirA import func_A #ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
from main.DirA import func_A #ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'main'
from .DirA import func_A #ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
from DirA import func_A #ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'func_A'

I have tried running func_B within dirB and in main but it does not work.

you must add the parent of the main directory to your PYTHONPATH (or write a setup.py and install your package). — thebjorn, Nov 08 '20 at 10:51
it's not, you can write a setup.py file and install your package. — thebjorn, Nov 08 '20 at 10:56

That is tried aswell - just forgot to add it to the lists (done now) – CutePoison Nov 08 '20 at 10:55
And where is the file that you are trying to import it in located? – Oliver Hnat Nov 08 '20 at 10:57
That should be explained in the graph above – CutePoison Nov 08 '20 at 10:57
I mean the file that you are importin it in, like you have a file that you are located in and you are trying to import the functions in that file. Where is it located? I don't see that in the graph above – Oliver Hnat Nov 08 '20 at 10:59
