Try copying this into trn_db.py. I got this from here.

import sys
sys.path.insert(1, '../websvr/instance/')
import config as conf

Try to specify the file path... c:/MicrosoftVSCode/randomthings1.py. When not right next to it (in the same folder), python has sometimes problems accessing files. Also, make sure antimalware software isn't blocking python's access. <- My case
