Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

You need to use the following command like a package which you are not doing while you are running in your CLI:- pkg/ __init__.py components/ core.py __init__.py tests/ core_test.py __init__.py To get the desired output as you want you to need to use it as a package. And when you are running the command make sure you are outside of directory pkg at the time when you call the package from CLI. If you want to use import components.core you can use it directly by appending the current directory to sys.path: if __name__ == '__main__' and __package__ is None: from os import sys, path sys.path.append(path.dirname(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__)))) If You want to learn python for data science visit this python course by Intellipaat.
