Imports in Python can be confusing.

I just saw someone ask "why do I have to prepend a dot to import a file in the same directory?"

That depends on whether the file with the import statement is in a package or not.

But, whether Python considers it to be in a package depends on how you imported (or ran) _that_ file. You can't determine it from the file's content or the filesystem structure!
