python - Receiving Import Error: No Module named ***, but has __init__.py -

i understand question has been asked several times after reading them, , making suggested fixes, i'm still stumped.

my project structure follows:

project       |       src         |          root - has __init__.py             |             nested - has __init__.py                   |                   tests - has __init__.py                   |                   utilities - has __init__.py                   |                   services - has __init__.py 

i've run unittest regression class eclipse without issues.

as attempted run same class command-line (as other users running suite not have access eclipse) receive error:

importerror: no module named 'root' 

as can see above, module root has __init__.py __init__.py modules empty.

and assistance gratefully received.

try adding sys.path.append list of imports.

import sys sys.path.append("/project/src/") import root import root.nested.tests
