Suppose a certain directory checkerbot (You can download the files). From my current directory, I have this directory called checkerbot which contains 4 files, i.e. base.py, checkers.py, __init__.py and model.py.

In [1]: import checkerbot.checkers as ck                                        
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-d7411e2bfdb5> in <module>
----> 1 import checkerbot.checkers as ck

~/../main/checkerbot/checkers.py in <module>
----> 1 import base
      2 
      3 class Game:
      4         # Initializes the class.
      5         def __init__(self):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'base'

This error told me I have no base.py in thecheckerbot directory, but it is false. How can I fix that? For your information, I am using python 3.7.6.

UPDATE

In [2]: import .base                                                            
  File "<ipython-input-2-e4256d58e84b>", line 1
    import .base
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Suppose my current directory is main and checkerbot is in main/. If I run ipython and then from . import base then I got :

In [1]: from . import base

----> 1 from . import base

ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Another error :

Use this instead

from . import base

Edit

Consider the following example:

└── foo
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── module_bar.py
    └── module_foo.py

$ cat foo/module_bar.py 
from . import module_foo

print(module_foo.load())

$ cat foo/module_foo.py 
def load():
    print("module foo is loaded")

$ python
Python 3.8.2 (default, May  4 2020, 20:05:11) 
[GCC 8.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import foo.module_bar
module foo is loaded

This means, whenever you're importing a module from directory, your imports within the directory should start with .

Are you running the script from the checkbot directory? If are running the script from the parent directory just try out from . import base or from checkerbot import base.

Currently python probably searchs for base.py in your parent directory.

Use

from . import base

That will provide a relative import of the base module in the checkerbot package.

A similar thing holds for the model module:

from .model import model

justwrite the name of the folder contain in it

ex:

from pymouse.base import PyMouseMeta, PyMouseEventMeta
