I'm getting some weird behavior regarding modules. I can correctly import my flow and the Config class from

projects

from both Python and Jupyter Notebook:

from projects.example.flows.hello_world
from projects import Config

But when I run the same import from Prefect, I get the following error:

pipenv run prefect run -m projects.example.flows.hello_world                    
No module named 'projects'

Check out this Discourse topic for explanation of the issue and some ways you can solve it

Is that projects pip installed? You need it to be to use

-m

Yup - so when I use pipenv run prefect run -p dir/dir/file.py I also get:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'projects'

. It's just weird because usually I don't need to bother with a setup.py. As long as the directory is modularized with an init.py I can usually import.

That is to import and use in a script, which can work if the relative path is right but it won’t work in all paths. I think the execution path of the

prefect run

might be different. You do need the

setup.py

to get that working. You know how to do that?

Yeah, that sounds good
