python - import function from a file in the same folder

Question

I'm building a Flask app with Python 3.5 following a tutorial, based on different import rules. By looking for similar questions, I managed to solve an ImportError based on importing from a nested folder by adding the folder to the path, but I keep failing at importing a function from a script in the same folder (already in the path). The folder structure is this:

DoubleDibz  
├── app
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── api 
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   └── helloworld.py
│   ├── app.py
│   ├── common
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   └── constants.py
│   ├── config.py
│   ├── extensions.py
│   ├── static
│   └── templates
└── run.py

In app.py I import a function from config.py by using this code:

import config as Config

but I get this error:

ImportError: No module named 'config'

I don't understand what's the problem, being the two files in the same folder. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Have you tried

import app.config as Config

It did the trick for me.
