ImportError: No module named… on Jupyter Notebook using docker

Question

I am running a project using docker on Windows 10 and Jupyter notebook (my apologies for not being precise with terms but I am quite new to all this). I have to import some modules that are stored locally on my PC but when I do so on Jupyter I get the error ImportError: No module named . I do not understand why some of the modules are loaded correctly and others are not. I checked my local folders on Windows and I saw that all of them have the empty __init__.py file. Here is my code:

from abc.config import getConfig
from abc.log_util import getLogger
from abc.services.rcp.library import indb

The first two lines work properly, with the third one I get the ImportError . However, I do have some directories called abc/services/rcp/library on my PC. If I run the command on the Jupyter notebook

import sys
sys.path

I get the output

['',
 '/mnt/shared/abc-services-rcp',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',
 '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2',
 '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/extensions',
 '/root/.ipython']

so the abc-services-rcp path seems to be there. Any ideas what it could be?

I solved the issue, I'll post the answer in case anyone has my same issue in the future. Apparently the module abc.services.rcp was not installed. I found it out by executing the command pip list and I saw that the module was not there. It was enough to execute on jupyter a pip install abc.services.rcp and wait until the installation of the module was finished, then restart the kernel and run the import code again.
