I've been fighting with this for weeks, read so many (outdated) articles, tried so many different proposed solutions without success. And I still believe I'm not trying to do something difficult...

I have the following folder structure

```
├── script.py 
├── lib 
│   ├── lonlatboxes.py
│   ├── utils.py

```

I'm using the folder `lib` to store some libraries used in `script.py`.

In `utils.py` I have

```py
from sqlalchemy import create_engine # python package
from lonlatboxes import lonlatboxes # my module

```

In `lonlatboxes.py` I have

```py
lonlatboxes = {
    'Africa': [-26.0, 63.0, -41.0, 37.0],
}

```

In `script.py` I do

```py
import lib.utils

```

And this causes an error

```py
      1 from sqlalchemy import create_engine
----> 2 from lonlatboxes import lonlatboxes
      3 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lonlatboxes'

```

I guess because the `sys.path` is resolved w.r.t. the parent folder and not `lib`. Note that the `lib.utils` file is found!

How should I solve this? Or...am I doing something completely against Python imports?
I believe adding the path to `sys.path` should not be the correct solution.

Note that I DON'T want to create a package. I just have a set of scripts and small libraries and want to avoid to put everything into the same folder and instead keep them separated so that I can have more order :)
