pip install constants

Try this on your shell and try running run.py

make sure you load the constants library

this is because Python assumes all your python files are in the current directory. you should tell the compiler you are looking for the file somewhere else.

from app-main-folder.constants import constants # assuming constants is the name of your class in that constants.py

You can use sys.path.append to tell Python interpreter where to search the modules.

First, you can check the current Python path

import sys
from pprint import pprint
pprint(sys.path)

If the path to the directory of constants.py is not included in the output, you can manually add that path, by

import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/constants.py")
