无法从自己的模块导入

Question

this is my first question and I searched the whole internet for one day and couldn't find a solution.
Hopefully someone can help me here.

I have running Anaconda and Python 3.8.3 64-bit on Windows 10.

I want to import an own program modul from an other file in an other folder .

• foldera contains a testa.py file
• folderb contains a testb.py file. I want to import foldera.testa

The import does not work. Terminal says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named

VS Code Screenshot

What I tryed:

• put the file: __init__.py and .env in every project folder.
• Reinstalling both programs and deleted temp files
• Looking folder .vscode into settings.json showed that the python.pythonPath is set correctly to python.exe
• Typed in python.exe sys.path.append('\\\\path\\\\to\\\\whatever') and os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] = '\\\\path\\\\to\\\\whatever'

Thank you in advance for the help

Best regards Sepp

I create a project with the same folder structure as yours, like the following screenshot shows:

In launch.json, you should add

"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",

when testb.py looks for the module, this setting makes it first to search in the current workspace folder, and the code sys.path.append("./") let it turn to its parent directory, now testb.py is at the same level as foldera, so you can use import foldera.testa without any errors.
