Cannot import source package in PyCharm

Question

I have an issue with using source package in PyCharm. Project structure looks like this

- project 
  - source
    - endpoint / user / _get / module1.py
    - layer / common / module2.py
  - tests
    ...

module2.py:

def somefunction():
  return 'sometext'

module1.py

import common

print(common.module2.somefunction())

In PyCharm preferences, under project structure i added source and source/layer as sources. In editor everything is correct, common package is visible, but when I run

python module1.py

It is showing

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'common'

Recommended practice is adding an `__init__.py` in every directory and using absolute qualified names in the imports. Otherwise chances are you'll be having problems with cyclic imports latter. See [PEP 395](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0395/). — bad_coder, Sep 03 '21 at 11:57

Create a __init__.py files inside layer and common.

It does not help – psowa001 Sep 03 '21 at 08:02
Try also creating the `__init__.py` in the directories on the path to `module1`. – eagr Sep 03 '21 at 08:18
nothing changed. I think it may be related to console settings – psowa001 Sep 03 '21 at 08:28
From what location do you run the `python module1.py` command? Is the project/source in your environment path? – eagr Sep 03 '21 at 09:56
