I can't import a python file from different folder in visual studio code. I also tried to save a init.py file in my module but got the same error. I don't wanna use pythonPATH. 

import my_module.shopping_cart

the error I get:

/python/sample codes/notebook.py", line 4, in <module>
import my_module.shopping_cart

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_module'

Give me an example. I just test in my machine with tree folder

C:.
├───child
├───---- child.py
├───parent
├───---- parent.py

In child.py

aaa = 1234
print aaa

In parent.py

import sys
sys.path.insert(1, '../child')
from child import aaa

print aaa

And result: 

1234 # result from child.py
1234 # result from parent.py
