[bug\_fix] ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Run the module as part of its package using \`python -m package.module\` from the project root, or convert the relative import to an absolute import after ensuring the package root is on \`sys.path\` \(e.g., via editable install or \`PYTHONPATH\`\).

Journey Context:
You have \`package/module.py\` with \`from . import utils\`. Running \`python package/module.py\` crashes with \`ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package\`. Adding \`sys.path\` hacks does not help because Python sets \`\_\_name\_\_ == '\_\_main\_\_'\` and \`\_\_package\_\_\` to \`None\`. Running \`python -m package.module\` sets \`\_\_package\_\_\` correctly and lets Python resolve the parent package, so relative imports work.

environment: Package-based project with relative imports; scripts run directly instead of as modules. · tags: importerror relative-import python-m package module · source: swarm · provenance: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html\#package-relative-imports
