Python Code Runs in Spyder but not Anaconda Prompt -- ModueNotFoundError

I am in need of some help with the below. Using Python 3 code on Windows 10. Written in Spyder over Anaconda install and custom environment.
I have some code that runs in Spyder but not Anaconda Prompt. It gets a ModuleNotFoundError. The directory/file structure is like this:
my_python
smb_bau
etl
init.py
etl_globals.py
init.py
my_config.conf
my_connections.py
my_definitions.py
init.py
(underscores round init not displaying for some reason)
Some notes before the problematic code:
It's just test code for now that will be replaced with the real hive code later.
The code works when all the files are in one foler.
Th my_ prefixes are just to avoid any word that might cause issues while testing.
In my_connections I have this code:
class hive_connection:
def __init__(self):
self.my_name = None
self.my_town = None
import configparser
from smb_bau.my_definitions import CONFIG_PATH
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read(CONFIG_PATH)
my_details = config["my_details"]
self.my_name = my_details["my_name"]
self.my_town = my_details["my_town"]
And this is what's in my_definitions:
import os
ROOT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
CONFIG_PATH = os.path.join(ROOT_DIR, 'my_config.conf')
(I gratefully stole this from another thread to solve the issue of getting config info from a different folder).
The file I run is etl_globals which contains this code:
from smb_bau.my_connections import hive_connection
hive = hive_connection()
print(hive.my_name, hive.my_town)
When I run etl_globals in Spyder it works perfectly. But it fails in Anaconda Prompt.
I open up Anaconda Prompt, activate my environment, navigate to the etl folder, and enter python etl_globals.py
The error message I get is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "etl_globals.py", line 1, in
from smb_bau.my_connections import hive_connection
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'smb_bau'
I don't understand why the import of modules works in Spyder but not Anaconda Prompt.
The overarching goal is to be able to not have all the files in one folder.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks.
Edit:
Just to be sure what the issue is I simplified it to create a file called my_functions (in the smb_bau folder) with this in:
def fn_test():
print(5)
And a file in the etl folder called my_test with this in:
from smb_bau.my_functions import fn_test
fn_test()
And got the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "my_test.py", line 1, in
from smb_bau.my_functions import fn_test
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'smb_bau'
Why does from smb_bau.my_functions import xxx work in Spyder but not Anaconda prompt?
Also, this may be relevant: the only reason there is a folder called my_python at the top is that I was getting an error saying no module named smb_bau. So I moved it all down a level and then it would accept smb_bau as a module but only in Spyder).
I also just checked PYTHONPATH and the root folder is there.
I have only been using Python for a week so I'm sure there are other bit of my code that aren't great -- but it does work in the spyder client.
Thanks and sorry if any of this is unclear.

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'igdb.wrapper'; 'igdb' is not a package" igdb-api-v4 [duplicate]

I'm trying to make a simple import and use the emailage third party library.
As per their documentation, the way to use their library is as follows:
pip install emailage-official
Then, simply import with:
from emailage.client import EmailageClient
The install works fine with pip - no errors. I double checked to see that the emailage package exists within the proper directory, and it does.
Package exists at:
C:\Users\aaron\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\emailage
This folder has (seemingly) the correct files with an __init__.py and everything. However, both pylint and command line interpreter throw me a
'No module named 'emailage.client'; 'emailage' is not a package' error.
The output of my sys.path is:
[...
'C:\\Users\\aaron\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python37-32\\lib\\site-packages'
...
]
So the directory where emailage is installed is a part of the path... and lastly I pip-installed numpy just to test if it worked properly. Numpy installed to the same site-packages folder as emailage, and it works fine when it is imported, so I'm stuck.
I don't typically use Python much, so any and all help would be appreciated.

The issue was in the naming of my file.
I hastily named my file emailage.py and then tried to import from emailage.client.
I'm assuming that Python looked in my current directory and matched the names of the file I was working on before checking the installed third party libraries.
After renaming my file everything seems ok.
For others who run into similar problems -- beware of conflicting naming. Sometimes the simplest things trip you up the longest.

I ran into something similar and the answer from OP about namespace collision is what finally clued me in.
I was using the same name for both a sub-package (directory) and a module (file) within it.
For example I had this:
/opt/mylib/myapi
/opt/mylib/myapi/__init__.py
/opt/mylib/myapi/myapi_creds.py # gitignored file for user/pass
/opt/mylib/myapi/myapi.py # base module, load creds and connect
/opt/mylib/myapi/myapi_dostuff.py # call myapi.py and do work
The script 'myapi.py' imports credentials from myapi_creds.py via this statement:
from myapi.myapi_creds import my_user, my_pass
Testing the module 'myapi.py' resulted in this error:
$ ./myapi.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./myapi.py", line 12, in <module>
from myapi.myapi_creds import my_user, my_pass
File "/opt/mylib/myapi/myapi.py", line 12, in <module>
from myapi.myapi_creds import my_user, my_pass
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'myapi.myapi_creds'; 'myapi' is not a package
The solution was to rename myapi.py to myapi_base.py so it's name does not collide with the sub-package name.

I took a look at this problem, and even though it is not exactly the same error that I encountered, it helped me solve it. I'll explain the situation I had, since I think some users might find this handy.
So, I was getting the following error log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/kemal/Programming/Python/Preference_Articulation/LocalSearch/LS_apriori.py", line 1, in <module>
from LocalSearch.LocalSearch import LocalSearch
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'LocalSearch.LocalSearch'; 'LocalSearch' is not a package
The structure of my project is the following (using PyCharm):
View of project structure
The important thing to notice is that I separated my code into several folders, since it makes it more readable. Now, in the folder named LocalSearch I have 4 files, LocalSearch, LS_apriori and some 2 tests files (not relevant). When trying to run the file LS_apriori (which uses methods and classes from file LocalSearch) I was getting the error provided above. The code specifically is not important, and the way I handled the imports was the following:
from LocalSearch.LocalSearch import LocalSearch
The fix was simple. I renamed the py-file LocalSearch to Local_Search (just added an underscore). Afterwards, the error was gone.
So my problem was possessing a folder(package) with the same name as a file(module) inside it, which has a class inside it with the same name. Python didn't like that.
Having modules with the same name as packages inside them is fine however, I guess the class just added extra confusion.

Python3 ModuleNotFoundError when running from command line but works if I enter the shell

I think I'm missing something obvious here. I cloned this repo, and now have this directory structure on my computer:
When I try to run python baby_cry_detection/pc_main/train_set.py, I get a ModuleNotFoundError.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "baby_cry_detection/pc_main/train_set.py", line 10, in <module>
from baby_cry_detection.pc_methods import Reader
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'baby_cry_detection'
However, if I type python and enter the interactive shell and then type the command
from baby_cry_detection.pc_methods import Reader
it imports just fine with no error. I'm completely baffled. I'm using a virtualenv and both instances are using the same python installation, and I haven't changed directories at all.

I think sys.path could be the reason that the module is not found when python command is executed. Here is how we can check if that is indeed the case:
In the train_set.py file, add import sys; print(sys.path). Looking at the error, the path may contain /path/to/baby_cry_detection/baby_cry_detection/pc_main. If that is the case, then we have found the issue which is that baby_cry_detection.pc_methods will not be found in the directory that sys.path is looking into. We'll need to append the parent baby_cry_detection directory to sys.path or use relative imports. See this answer.
The reason that python prompt successfully imports the module could be because the prompt is started in the correct parent directory. Try changing the directory to baby_cry_detection/pc_main/ and try importing the module.

Why do I get ImportError of xlwings when running RunPython from Excel on Mac?

I am trying to run a Python script from Excel 2016 on Mac. When I run the code nothing happens, and the status bar in Excel gets stuck on "Running". I have checked the xlwings log file and I can see that the error is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/Users/dano/Desktop/hello.py", line 3, in
import xlwings as xw
ImportError: No module named xlwings
However when I import xlwings from a Python shell it works fine, and I have also managed to write to the active workbook from the Python Shell using xlwings. Why does it say that there is no module named xlwingswhen I clearly have it installed?
I am using the simple hello.py example from the xlwings documentation:
import numpy as np
import xlwings as xw
def world():
wb = xw.Book.caller()
wb.sheets[0].range('A1').value = 'Hello World!'
The .py file and the excel file are located on my Desktop. I am running Python 3.6 and have installed xlwings using pip3.

xlwings takes the default Python installation as defined in your .bash_profile file, see the docs.
That is, you either need to include python3 in your PATH (given that you used pip3) or you need to set the Python interpreter via xlwings.
To set it in your .bash_profile, you would do something like:
export PATH="/path/to/python3/bin:$PATH"

Python 3.4 Openpyxl error

I'm having a problem with Python when importing module openpyxl. I'm using Python 3.4 and have followed instructions and managed to install the module.
When I'm importing the module like this:
from openpyxl import workbook
It gives me the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python34/test.py", line 1, in <module>
from openpyxl import workbook
ImportError: No module named 'openpyxl'
I installed the module following this step-by-step method:
I went in to the control panel - system and security - System - advanced system - system - enviroment variables - find path in the scroll bar and write in at the end where Python is installed. After this is done you can go in CMD and write python and it will find it.
In your modulepackage you downloaded there is a setup.py look up the directory of this.
Go to the CMD and write in cd followed by the directory.
Then write python setup.py and the setup will begin.
After the setup is done go in to the CMD and write python and then import "module name" if no error is shown the setup is finished.
Help me Stackoverflow, you're my only hope!
