Python cant find module in the same folder

Change your import in test.py to:

from .hello import hello1

Your code is fine, I suspect your problem is how you are launching it.

You need to launch python from your 2014_07_13_test directory.

Open up a command prompt and cd into your 2014_07_13_test directory.

For instance:

$ cd /path/to/2014_07_13_test
$ python test.py

If you cannot cd into the directory like this you can add it to sys.path

In test.py:

import sys, os
sys.path.append(/path/to/2014_07_13_test)

Or set/edit the PYTHONPATH

And all should be well…

…well there is a slight mistake with your shebang lines (the first line in both your files), there shouldnt be a space between the # and the !

There is a better shebang you should use.

Also you dont need the shebang line on every file… only the ones you intend to run from your shell as executable files.

I had a similar problem, I solved it by explicitly adding the files directory to the path list:

import os
import sys

file_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
sys.path.append(file_dir)

After that, I had no problem importing from the same directory.
