Python- No module named "src"

Question

I am trying to import my module name "src" into the "data_ingestion.py" file but the VS code, terminal showing this error "No module named src" Why VS code is not detecting my module?

The pics of the problem are given:

Is it a problem with the virtual environment? OR it is a Run time error?

I linked the file with ".venv" by going to settings>select interpreter>python 3.11.8(".venv":venv).I thought that maybe".venv" was not linked to the data_ingestion.py file. If this is the problem then please tell me how can I solve this.

I have also tried giving the full file path to the VS code terminal but that also does not work.

Answer 1

File, folder structure,

parentfolder
  code.py
  folder 
    script.py 

In python, to import your scripts, functions you should use relative paths or absolute paths. So, when you import like,

from folder.script import function 

The folder should be sub folder of where the script is.

2)

File, folder structure,

parentfolder
  script.py 
  folder 
    code.py

So, maybe try like below.

from .folder.script import function 

Which is import "function" from a "script.py" file from parent folder called "folder".
