ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_app'

Question

I am trying to make a custom manager that will run a function from another file in a sibling directory, but this error keeps popping up. I have tried:

1) Adding the module to my PYTHONPATH.
2) Adding init .py files.
3) Appending the module to sys.path.

I am using Python3 and Django.

• /app
  
• --- /managers
• -------/manager.py <--- /*importing code here*/
• --- /my_app
• -------/request.py <--- /*code to be imported*/

None of these have worked.

Answer 1

it should work with

from .. import my_app

or

from ..my_app import request 

(Be careful with a name like request , it could conflict the argument request used inside the views)
