I am trying to to import a file within this folder's directory. The file name is ChessEngine.py in the directory shown below:

C:\Users\tquig\OneDrive\Desktop\Chess

my code for importing the said file is:

from Chess import ChessEngine

Then I create the environment using:

gs = ChessEngine.GameState()

with class:

def GameState()

I am receiving a no module named 'Chess' error in powershell when calling python ChessMain.py. Could I be importing my file all wrong in python 3?

Your Chess folder should have an `__init__.py` file to be a module that python can import from. – cs95 Oct 31 '20 at 23:53
I do contain a _init_.py. I forgot to mention that. Is there supposed to be any required code in it? At the moment it is blank. – Travis Quigg Oct 31 '20 at 23:58
I think that's fine. Perhaps (as other answers in the link suggest), you might need to add the directory to your PYTHONPATH. – cs95 Oct 31 '20 at 23:58
How would you go about constructing a python path? – Travis Quigg Nov 01 '20 at 00:01
