Yes, I know this is a recurrent question but I still couldn\'t find a convincing answer. I even read at https://chrisyeh96.github.io/2017/08/08/definitive-guide-python-imports.h
I think you need a __init__.py
module in the notebooks/
directory. I haven't really used Jupyter notebooks before so I could be wrong. You may also need to try changing your import statement to:
import .. helpers
to indicate that the import statement is for a local package that is located in the parent directory of the Jupyter notebook.
