Python can't find module in the same folder

Question

My python somehow can't find any modules in the same directory. What am I doing wrong? (python2.7)

So I have one directory '2014_07_13_test', with two files in it:

1. test.py
2. hello.py

where hello.py:

# !/usr/local/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

def hello1():
    print 'HelloWorld!'

and test.py:

# !/usr/local/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from hello import hello1

hello1()

Still python gives me

>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
ImportError: No module named hello

What's wrong?

Answer 1

Change your import in test.py to:

from .hello import hello1
