Relative imports in Python 3

Question

I want to import a function from another file in the same directory.

Sometimes it works for me with from .mymodule import myfunction but sometimes I get

Answer 1

I was getting this ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

In my program I was using the file from current path for importing its function.

Then I modified the current path (Dot) with package name. Which resolved my issue.

from package_name.filename import function

I hope the above answer helps you.
