All modules in Python have to have a certain directory structure. You can find details here.
Create an empty file called __init__.py under the model directory, such that your directory structure would look something like that:
.
└── project
└── src
├── hello-world.py
└── model
├── __init__.py
└── order.py
Also in your hello-world.py file change the import statement to the following:
from model.order import SellOrder
That should fix it
P.S.: If you are placing your model directory in some other location (not in the same directory branch), you will have to modify the python path using sys.path.

If it's your root module, just add it to PYTHONPATH (PyCharm usually does that):
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<root module path>
For Docker:
ENV PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:<root module path in container>"

r/learnpython on Reddit: Why do I get a ModuleNotFoundError?
September 2, 2021 -
Hey Guys,
I get a weird ModuleNotFoundError in one of my projects and i do not really understand why. So here is my Folder Structure:
Project\
| main.py
| packageabc\
| | __init__.py
| | abc.py
| | packagexyz\
| | | xyz.py
In every .py file is an abc/xyz or main class. Now the interesting part. Inside the abc.py I do an import like this:
from packagexyz.xyz import xyz
This works perfectly fine!
Inside the main.py I do an import like this:
from packageabc.abcimport abc
Now I get an ModuleNotFoundError. Error Code looks like this:
from packagexyz.xyz import xyz ModuleNotFoundError: no module named packagexyz.
So the import in the abc.py File that works perfectly when tested inside the file does not work if the abc.py file is imported. So why is that?

You probably have a circular dependency - abc imports xyz and xyz imports abc. Python can't complete either import so it raises an error.

It's because of the way Python looks for modules. There's a list of paths that Python looks through to find modules, which automatically includes things like the place pip installs packages to. It also automatically includes the directory the executing script is in. It does not, however, automatically include the directory an imported module is in. So, if you're executing "abc.py" directly, in finds "packagexyz" just fine, since it knows to look in the "packageabc" folder for modules. If you are executing "main.py" instead, the only place it looks (besides the default and manually configured paths) is "Project", so it can't find packagexyz. There's really three ways you could fix this: Manually configuring paths You can keep the imports as you have them and simply ensure that the "packageabc" folder is always on the search path for modules. You can do so either by configuring the PYTHONPATH environment variable to include it or by appending it to sys.path in your "main.py" before importing abc. Absolute imports You could also change the import in "abc.py" to be relative to "Project" (from packageabc.packagexyz.xyz import xyz). Then your "main.py" would work the way it is. Of course, that in turn means you can no longer directly execute "abc.py" unless you manually configure "Project" to always be on the search path for modules. Relative imports You could also change "abc.py" to use relative imports (from .packagexyz.xyz import xyz, note the extra dot in front). Then your "main.py" would work the way it is, as well. You could also still directly execute "abc.py", but only if you make sure to do it in a way that Python is aware it is part of a larger package (otherwise, relative imports give you an error). Specifically, you'd always need to execute it like this: python -m packageabc.abc Rather than like this: python packageabc/abc.py

Why is My Python Module Not Found in My Virtual Environment? | by Carl Kho | Medium
October 3, 2024 - If these paths aren’t pointing inside your virtual environment’s bin directory (e.g., ./my_venv/bin), then you’ve found the culprit! This is especially common when using tools like Homebrew (Macbook folks raise your hands 🙌), which can sometimes override your system’s default Python.

Why do I get "Module not found" after python installation in venv? | The FreeBSD Forums
November 9, 2022 - Python has its own virtual environments. They have nothing to do with OS-level constructs you listed. They reach the same goal (having multiple applications run on the same machine, with different set of libraries = modules) in a different way. Documentation is here: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html I tried them once for 10 minutes, and decided that they're not for me.

This ensures that the Python interpreter can find the module. import sys sys.path.append('/path/to/module/directory') import some_module · Wrap your import statements in try-except blocks to catch and handle ModuleNotFoundError gracefully. This allows your program to continue running even if a module is not found.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named Error in Python - GeeksforGeeks
July 23, 2025 - The most common reason for this error is that the required module is not installed on the system. Python relies on external packages and modules to extend its functionality, and if a module is not installed, Python cannot find it during the import.

When a module named spam is imported, the interpreter first searches for a built-in module with that name. These module names are listed in sys.builtin_module_names. If not found, it then searches for a file named spam.py in a list of directories given by the variable sys.path.
