Python import file from the same directory: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named

Question

I have the following files. And I want to be able to run python web\file1.py in Mod1.

Mod1 web __init__.py file1.py file2.py __init__.py

and in file1.py:

import web.file2

However, when I run the following command in the directory mod1:

....\Mod1> python .\web\file1.py Traceback (most recent call last): File ".\web\file1.py", line 1, in <module> import web.file2 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'web'

I tried to change the content of file1.py to

from . import file2

and the error become

ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

It also got the error of ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'web'. — ca9163d9

@napuzba I'm having trouble resolving the issue described, and I don't find your tutorial to provide a resolution. I believe the issue is related to package name resolution in pylance, as if for a package to be imported, and resolution in the interpreter, run as a script. Either way, I'm stuck doing what works, without pylance type hinting, or getting pylance type hints and not being able to run as a script. — Sam Hughes

As I understood what You want, You want to have file2.py imported in file1.py

If that is correct, all You need to do is type this in file1.py

import file2

Happy Coding!

Yes, this works. However, the python language server (pylance) of visual studio code warned "file2" is not accessed Pylance Import "file2" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingImports)

It seem you are trying to import web/file1. Since there is an init file at mod1, you should use this in Mod1

import .web.file1 as f1

Then this in file2

import .file1 as f1
