无法导入模块-ImportError：未命名模块

Question

I've created a new app called engineapp . Inside this app, there is a folder engine which is a Scrapy project.

When I try to import model from storage app inside top.py file, it returns:

from storage.models import TopItem
ImportError: No module named storage.models

Or the similar problem, when I try to import settings of scrapy project:

from engineapp.engine.engine import settings

It returns:

from engineapp.engine.engine import settings
ImportError: No module named engineapp.engine.engine

This is when I run scrapy project from command line.

Both imports created PyCharm itself.

As you can see, I've added __init__() everywhere so python would be able to recognize those files.

Do you know what should I do to be able to import those files?

PyCharm autocomplete relies on different IDE settings. You've marked your realstate_scanner as sources root, so PyCharm can resolve imports for this. From docs:

These roots contain the actual source files and resources. PyCharm uses the source roots as the starting point for resolving imports.

If you can't import some module in python, you should check PATH/PYTHONPATH variables first to make sure python interpreter knows where to find your module.
