Not able to import file as module in pycharm

Question

I am trying to import a function from a file mydate.py which returns current date to another file using Pycharm but Pycharm is not detecting that function of the file. To do so I am using the following lines

from mydate import curdate

but Pycharm is not able to find this function.
