How to fix absolute import problem in Django?

Question

I try to figure it out why can't I import a module but I have no success. My structure is very simple:

exitinterview
firm
stressz
    -models.py
performance
    -emails.py

I want to import Projects class from stressz.models into emails.py like this:

from stressz.models import Project

But I always get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'stressz'

I have stressz in my settings.py in the INSTALLED_APPS

if you are using python 3 then try `from .stressz.models import Project`... a dot(.) before the stressz. — Usman Maqbool, Apr 06 '22 at 07:05
Yes, I'm tried. In this case: `ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package` — RlM, Apr 06 '22 at 07:58

You do not mention where your project folder is.

If you follow this structure, you should solve this issue:

.
manage.py
├── app1
     └── models.py
├── app2
     └── models.py
└── project
     └── settings.py
