ImportError: cannot import name <module> only when running file from atom

Question

Given two files on the directory /khwarizmi such as /khwarizmi/linear.py and /khwarizmi/exceptions.py , importing functions and classes from one another works without problem when running the scripts through the OS command line (Ubuntu 18.04). Yet, when I run the scripts from Atom (whether it is from the Hydrogen , the python-run or the script packages, I get

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/santiago/Documentos/ScriptLab/Repos/khwarizmi/khwarizmi/linear.py", line 1, in <module>
    from exceptions import (InvalidFormError, LinearSolutionError,
ImportError: cannot import name InvalidFormError
[Finished in 0.074s]

This is how the imports are written:

 from exceptions import (InvalidFormError, LinearSolutionError,
                        RedundantConversionError)

# The following are other imports that, provided
# they were executed, raise the same error.

import equations
from equations import operators
from lib.misc import cond_assign, num

I tried tweaking the packages settings that would seem relevant; for example, changing the Default CWD setting from first project directory to project directory of the script or directory of the script , but this didn't change anything.

My question is, why doesn't this work when running the scripts from Atom packages, but it does from the command line?

Answer 1

exceptions is a python standard module. If you use same name for your private module, this may mix-up.
