Python error ' ModuleNotFoundError:'

I am getting this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Exporter.py", line 3, in <module>
import sys,getopt,got,datetime,codecs
File "C:\Users\Rohil\Desktop\GetOldTweets-python-master\got\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
import models
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'models'
my directory tree is:
C:\Users\Rohil\Desktop\GetOldTweets-python-master\got
this contains 2 folders: manager and models and 1 __init__.py file with the code :
import models
import manager
i am executing a file with the path: C:\Users\Rohil\Desktop\GetOldTweets-python-master\Exporter.py
I can't figure out what the issue is. can anyone assist me?

Set the environment variable PYTHONPATH=C:\Users\Rohil\Desktop\GetOldTweets-python-master\got (how exactly, depends on your operating system)

If you have created a directory and sub-directory then follow the below steps and please keep in mind that a directory must have an __init__.py file for python to recognize it as a package.
First run this to see all paths being searched by python:
import sys
sys.path
You must be able to see your current working directory in that list.
Now import the sub-directory and the respective module that you want to use via the import command: import subdir.subdir.modulename as abc You should now be able to use the methods in that module.
As you can see in this screenshot above I have one parent directory and two sub-directories. Under the second sub-directory I have a module named CommonFunction. On the console to the right you can see my working directory after execution of sys.path.

Does the models folder has an __init__.py file inside it ? Only then, it will be recognized as a module by python and import models would make sense.
So,
Create an empty __init__.py file in the models subfolder and then the code should work without any issues.
You should also look at this answer.

if create d or using or custom python package
check our dir. correct.
** For python 3.7 user **
from. import module_name

If you are using python3 but are installing the API through 'pip install 'such and such'. It's not gonna work on python3 console. Therefore, you'd better use 'sudo python3 -m pip install 'such and such''. Then it's gonna work!
(at least for ubuntu stuff)

Import Error: No Module named common

My folder structure in pycharm is as follows.
--python
--concepts
--common
--myds.py
--__init__.py
--data_structures
--test_ds.py
I have the following line in test_ds.py
from common import my_ds
I get the following error.
ImportError: No module named 'common'
I have added common to Settings --> Project Interpreter -> Interpreter Paths
and the folder shows up as library root.
Still why am I getting this error.

Try from ..common import my_ds. Also make sure that it has an __init__.py file in that directory (not required but it's good practice).
As for the .. they indicate that you're importing from the parent package to the one you're currently on.

You need to make your common folder into a python package in order to import it in python. I think you've tried to do it and created init file in your common folder but actually it must be __init__.py. Rename it like this and then your package will be visible to python.
Hope it helps!

Python No module named

I have a custom module that I am trying to read from a folder under a hierarchy:
> project-source
/tests
/provider
my_provider.py
settings_mock.py
__init__.py
I am trying to call, from my_provider.py
import tests.settings_mock as settings
Example from command line:
project-source> python tests/provider/my_provider.py
Error:
... ImportError: No module named settings_mock
I keep getting No module named settings_mock as error. I have already exported project_source path to PYTHONPATH. I have made tests into a package by creating a __init__.py file in its root, but no change in the error then.
I can print the settings_mock.py attributes when cd'ing project source
>>> import tests.settings_mock as settings
>>> print settings.storage_provider
correct storage provider value
Is anyone able to point out my mistake here? Thanks!

You only have one small mistake. To use subfolders, you need __init__.py, not init.py as you stated in the question. The difference is that __init__ is a builtin function of python, whereas init is not. Having this file in each subfolder tells the pyhon interpreter that the folder is a "package" that needs to be initialized.
UPDATED: It should be noted that python usually runs from the current directory that the script is located. If your executable main script is my_provider.py, then it's not going to know what to import, since the main script is located in a lower directory than the object it is trying to import. Think of it as a hierarchy. Scripts can only import things that are beneath them. Try separating out the executable from everything else in that file, if there are things that settings_mock needs to import.

Create and import a custom python package - import doesn't work in the root

I'm totally new to Python, and I want to create my first Python library for peronal uses.
I'm using Python 2.7.5, and running the IDLE interface.
So far, what I understood from the documentation and related questions is that:
Python goes through a list of directories listed in sys.path to find scripts and libraries
The package directory must contain a __init__.py file, which can be empty
The module I want to create should be a modulename.py file with the code inside the package directory
(Sources: http://www.johnny-lin.com/cdat_tips/tips_pylang/path.html --- https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html)
And here is what I tried that fails:
Created a personal package directory C:\....\pythonlibs
Created a subpackage dir C:\....\pythonlibs\package
Created the __init__.py file inside both folders
Created the mymodule.py file in the packacge dir
And then in the IDLE used this code:
import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\....\pythonlibs')
First issue:
Currently I have to do this append every time I enter the IDLE. How can I keep the directory in sys.path permanently just as there are a lot of other directories there?
Then I tried importing my package:
import pythonlibs #fails!! why?
import pythonlibs.package #fails!! why?
import package #works
The error is: ImportError: No module named pythonlibs
Second issue?
This seems to be against the documentation, why can't I import from the root pythonlibs folder?

With line
sys.path.append(r'C:\....\pythonlibs')
you are instructing interpreter to start looking for modules (libraries) in this directory. Since this directory does not contain pythonlibs folder (the parent does), it can't import it.
Similarly - because it contains the module package, it can import it.

Python cannot import module from subdirectory even with a file named __init.py__ in the directory

I know this question has been asked many times here and I'v probably read most of the answers (including this and that) as well as the python documentation but still can not find an answer to my very simple import problem. It's so simple that I must miss something stupid but I don't see it yet.
I have setup the following structure:
myproject
myscript.py
MyPackage
__init.py__
mymodule.py
I just want to load mymodule.py from myscript.py (or the commandline python interpreter which should be the same).
myscript.py contains:
#!/usr/bin/python
import MyPackage
__init.py__ contains:
from . import mymodule
mymodule.py contains
#!/usr/bin/python
def myfunction():
print "mymessage"
My goal is to call myfunction from myscript.py but if I try to call the module I get
$python myscript.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myscript.py", line 2, in <module>
import MyPackage
ImportError: No module named MyPackage
What I already tried:
I tried everything under OSX and Ubuntu Linux to reduce the possibility of a faulty python installation.
I set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the myproject directory as well as to . and to both.
I left __init.py__ blank
I tried the import statements also from the python interpreter started from the myproject directory
I tried the following import statements:
from MyPackage import mymodule
import MyPackage.mymodule
import MyPackage.mymodule as module
all without success (same error message).
If I put mymodule.py in the project directory without using a package, import works fine. But I don't see why the import from the subpackages is not working.
Any idea how I can get that to work?
Thanks for help!

While editing the formatting of your post, I noticed you're calling your file __init.py_. That causes python to not recognize your MyPackage directory as a package, hence the ImportError: No module named MyPackage.
It should instead be __init__.py (Name __init__, extension .py). Then it will work, your project structure and import statements are otherwise correct.
One minor point though: You should also use lower_underscore style for naming your package. Packages are modules as well in Python, and they should follow the same naming conventions. See PEP8 for details on recommended style and naming conventions. This is just a convention though, it has nothing to do with your problem.
