导入 local.py 文件时出现 ModuleNotFoundError

Question

I've tried looking everywhere about this problem but I cannot find the solution. I am also new to Python so forgive me, but I am trying to import my local readMessages.py file into my TextReactions.py file. I've tried import readMessages, from readMessages import take_screenshot, but I still get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'readMessages'. Thank you for any help in advanced!

from readMessages import take_screenshot
from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Loads the .env file that resides on the same level as the script.
load_dotenv()

# Grab the API token from the .env file.
DISCORD_TOKEN = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")

import requests
import json
import discord
import os, os.path
import pyautogui
class readMessages:
    os.system('cls')
    list = os.listdir('C://Users//gamer//Documents//Pythong//Screenshots')
    count = len(list)
    def retrieve_messages(channelid):
        print("MESSAGES BELOW:")

Answer 1

If you wish to import local modules, then you should add an __init__.py file in the directory of the python file you want to import. The __init__.py can be empty.

Answer 2

Python has to types of imports, global and relative.

With the statement:

from readMessages import take_screenshot

You are trying a global import of a module present in your installed libraries.

You should try a relative import:

from .readMessages import take_screenshot

If this does not work, your working directory is probably misconfigured, you should update it on your ide.
