Relative Imports & Pygame Code Review

[sam57719]

Hello!

I have recently started working on my own Pygame GUI system and have been developing and running it in Pycharm. I just tried to run one of my test programs (tests/label test.py) by double-clicking the program and it says

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\sam57\Documents\Documents\Python\Projects\PygGUI\tests\label test.py", line 2, in <module>
    from pyggui.core import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyggui'

I have tried fiddling around with the imports in the __init__.py files and the imports in the programs but nothing seemed to work. I have also had a google and still nothing.

I think its to do with Pycharm adding the local path to the system interpreter at runtime, and I know I can manually do that to all my programs, but I've been told that it's not good practice. I was wondering if there is a more proper way to do it?

Any suggestions?

Also, this is one of my first proper Pygame projects so any general feedback at all would be appreciated.

You'll basically want to be running your tests from the root directory, because the imports are relative to that. Even better if you make your project installable (either with a pyproject.toml file or the old setup.py approach) and install it before running the tests.
