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

Run the file as part of its package using python -m package.module from the project root, instead of python package/module.py. Alternatively, convert relative imports to absolute imports.

Journey Context:
You clone a repository, cd into src/package, and run python module.py. The first relative import blows up because \_\_name\_\_ is '\_\_main\_\_', so Python sees no parent package. Running python -m package.module from the repository root makes Python treat the file as a package member, giving the relative import a package root to resolve against.

environment: Python package with \_\_init\_\_.py and relative imports that is being executed as a script · tags: relative-import importerror __main__ python-m · source: swarm · provenance: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html\#package-relative-imports
