ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src' in python

Question

I have the following folder structure:

src
 |_ __init__.py
    example.py
test
 |_ test.py

# __init__.py
class API:
    def something(self):
        print('folder src | file __init__')

# example.py
class Example:
    def doingSomething(self):
        print('folder src | file example')

# test.py
import src
from src.example import Example

class Test:
    def somethingElse(self):
        print('folder test | file test')

when I run the test.py file, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<my path>\test\test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import src
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src'

Unless you import the example module in your src/__init__.py file, you need to specify the module name (i.e., example) within the package (i.e., src).

from src.example import Example

ok thanks, but I'm still getting the same error from the first line of test.py – Little Ball Dec 19 '20 at 20:39
That means that the src package is not in your `PYTHONPATH` – abc Dec 19 '20 at 20:42
How do I put it in my PYTHONPATH? I'm using vscode – Little Ball Dec 19 '20 at 20:43

try using the below import sys sys.path.append('../') – Mandar Autade Dec 19 '20 at 20:52
What should I add in my `.vscode/settings.json` file? I am on windows 10. The import sys didn't work and I can't find an answer on both links posted by @abc – Little Ball Dec 19 '20 at 21:02
