The ultimate goal is to make sure run.py get run under project root directory because the underlying code has this assumption when writing it. Locally pycharm take care of this, but when execute remotely, need to take care of this otherwise it will complain Module Not Found .

A typical project setup I am working with look like this:

project_root/
    |--src/
        |--utilities.py
        |--foo.py
    |--runbooks/
        |--run.py

And typical import look like this, for example in foo.py from src.utilities import something
