How do I import a library within the same folder / directory?

I tried using this answer / solution, but Python throws this error:

user@computer:~/program$ python3 __init__.py
  File "__init__.py", line 102
    import .get_len
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
user@computer:~/program$ pwd
/home/user/program

Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()

Note: user and computer are not real names.

100|        if args.mode == 'get-len':
101|            try:
102|                import .get_len
103|            except ImportError as error:
104|                msg = str(error)

It gives another error: File "__init__.py", line 206, in from . import get_len SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import – Penguin Nov 27 '19 at 02:21
Is your path set up right? – Mad Physicist Nov 27 '19 at 02:21
I ran python3 from the directory __init__.py was located. – Penguin Nov 27 '19 at 02:27
Run from one folder up. The driver script should be next to the package, not in it. Unless you run with `python -m` – Mad Physicist Nov 27 '19 at 02:30
