Project module not found outside virtualenv

Question

My project has basically an architecture like this:

src
├── __init__.py
├── main.py
└── core
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── module1.py
    └── module2.py

All __init__.py files are empty, in main.py I have a from src.core.module1 import stuff and I am running main.py from the src folder. When I'm running it from my project virtual environment everything works fine, but outside of the virtual environment I have an ImportError: no module named src.core.module1 . I cannot understand why, because this module is in the project, not related to the Python environment packages...

(Windows / Python 2.7.14)

Answer 1

Try from core.module1 import stuff . You should not import src since you are in that location with your main.py already.
