No module named 'cogs.music.pycache.music'

Question

I'm making a discord bot for me and my friends and whenever I run the code, I get this missing pycache module error, I have no idea why and I can't find anything googling python no module named __pycache__ or anything similar

this is the folder layout down to the music pycache, running the code with python bot from the directory above bot

Full traceback:

just delete all __pycache__ folder and run again [how to delete Pycache folder](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28991015/python3-project-remove-pycache-folders-and-pyc-files) — sahasrara62, Dec 27 '21 at 12:36
I'd have to do that each time I want to run the code though and I'd rather not — ontley, Dec 27 '21 at 12:55

You're trying to import from the __pycache__ folder when the music.py file isn't in it.
Try import cogs.music.music instead.

I'm not importing it myself, __pycache__ folders are the interpreter's job, not mine yet it's breaking, it works when the pycache is deleted but it restores itself because the interpreter recompiles to pycache and then it doesn't work again – ontley Dec 27 '21 at 12:54

Turns out I needed a __init__.py file in the cogs directory
