My Python imports don't work as they should according to tutorials

Introduction

I'm having problems with importing my own modules/packages so I searched up some tutorials (written and youtube) and was trying to solve my problems. However nothing really worked so I recreated the structure of a tutorial to follow it step by step (sweetcode.io).

I'm using Python 3.9.13 installed via anaconda on a win10 machine

Structure of the sample project

-- tutorial
   |-- subfolder1
   |    |-- subfolder2
   |    |   |-- __init__.py
   |    |   |-- student.py
   |    |   `-- user.py
   |    |-- __init__.py
   |    `-- item.py
   |-- subfolder3
   |   |-- __init__.py
   |   |-- accounts.py
   |   `-- registration.py
   |-- __init__.py
   `-- security.py

I could follow the tutorial up to the part where they talk about importing a module backwards, so say from student.py import the module security.py. However as soon as I try to do that I get an error message.

Attempt 1:

code in student.py:

import tutorial.security

powershell command (currently inside the tutorial directory):

python .\subfolder1\subfolder2\student.py

error received:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Schnetzubroot\Documents\test\subfolder1\subfolder2\student.py", line 1, in <module>
    import tutorial.security
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tutorial.security'

Attempt 2:

if I change the code in student.py to:

from test import security

I still get the same error message

Attempt 3:

When trying to use a relative import as such: from ... import security i get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Schnetzubroot\Documents\tutorial\subfolder1\subfolder2\student.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ... import security
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

If somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd really appreciate it because I don't see what I'm doing wrong.
Also any feedback to the post is appreciated as this is my first question here

You should not use "import tutorial.security". Instead use "import security", or just to be sure use this.

It looks like that page is missing some key details for use as a true tutorial.

Attempt 1 & 2

The issue here seems to be that the root "tutorial" directory is not on your python path for anaconda. Instructions for doing this using Anaconda can be found here.

Attempt 3

The issue here is you are trying to run the python file as a script. (i.e. __name__ == "__main__". See the Python Docs (6.4.2. Intra-package References) note on this. It appears the intent for relative imports is not to be used in an Python script, only for internal uses.

I believe the correct way of doing the 'from' import would be:

from tutorial import security

Otherwise, you can also add the parent folder 'tutorial' to your system path and then just import security directly, like so:

import security
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, path/to/tutorial/folder)
