Adding __init__.py not working - Module Not Found: Fixing Python Sibling Directory Import Error

I've been trying to use better project structure for my ML demos, but I keep getting punched in the face by Python when importing sibling packages.

my_ml_project/
- sweet_src_code/
- models_dir/
- tests_dir/

I then usually give up and put everything in the top level dir:

my_ml_project/

This is basic stuff but I now feel such relief. No more pentagrams of salt, ritualistic animal sacrifices, and __init__.py files everywhere trying to get imports to work.

Gus, I've banging my head against this error code all day. You're a lifesaver! Thank you!

This video is life saver, I have struggle for almost 2 days, because I have to build the test also the main file in different folder from the module file. Thanks man!

Hey Gus, thanks for this informative video. This is what exactly I was looking for..
I was scratching my head to figure out how to setup a base with python and you really made my day.
Thanks again!!

Holy, you are a lifesaver! For some reason the absolute path of some modules didn't work, but now it does.🎉

Amazing! Thanks! I knew it had to do with my setup.py file, but I couldn't find any good resources to figure out what the problem was for hours.

It can get a bit frustrating when you read and interpret the docs carefully and things still don't work. You saved me some time. Thanks.

You are a STAR!!! I was gonna give up. Thanks heaps! Best tutorial ever!!!

CLEAN, CONCISE! You are a life saver! No Hardcoded path, no implicit imporation of files.
I wish __init__.py works like this, where it binds all the modules and submodiles where __init__.py is present, bit it doesnt.

Thanks for this! I'll try it on my next automation project
