I have an app:

/app
    /folder1/file_one.py
    /folder2/file_two.py
    /folder3/file_three.py
PYTHONPATH ~/app

When I try to import function1 from file_one.py to file_two.py everything works correctly, but when I try:

import function1 from file_one.py to file_three.py I get the message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu18/rex/app/folder3/file_three.py", line 1, in <module>
    from folder1.file_one import function1
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'folder1'

This problem occurs all the time, and I always solve it in different ways, but nothing works right now. I tried:

-PYTHONPATH
-relative and absolute path
-__init.py__

The error message tells you:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'folder1'

So do what it asks you for and turn folder1 into the module. This is done by adding __init__.py file into the folder1. Do the same thing with other project directories and you will avoid the problem with imports.

  1. Create the same file structure as yours

    enter image description here

  2. An error occurred when directly from file_one import function1 in file_two

    enter image description here

Solution:

Add the following code at the top of the file_two:

import sys
sys.path.append("../folder1")

The script executes normally without error

enter image description here

If you still want to eliminate the yellow wavy line warning, add the following configuration in the workspace settings.json:

    "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
        "./folder1"
    ]

Make sure the relative path of everything is good. If you are using that file as an import its relative path will remain the same.

    This is neither a working solution nor does it correctly represent what the OP tried to do. Note that their attempted syntax in the traceback is `from folder1.file_one import function1`, which is actually closer to correct than this suggestion... – L0tad May 03 '23 at 19:40
  • Also, some people/projects follow a certain file/folder structure, where similar components are grouped by folder (=modules) and putting everything in 1 folder is not allowed. The question looks like just a simplified minimal example of their actual code. – Gino Mempin May 03 '23 at 23:04

    `from file_one.py import function1` Import statement definitely DO NOT need `.py` at the end of the module name. – John Gordon May 04 '23 at 00:22
