I can not figure out why I can not start this simlple python script

My directory looks like this
When I start directly with PyCharm it works.
But when I try to start the script with a commandline I get this error messsage
> python .\PossibilitiesPlotter.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\SwapMatrixPlotter\possibilitiesplotter\PossibilitiesPlotter.py", line 7, in <module>
from plotterresources.PlotterProps import PlotterProps
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotterresources'
This is how the import looks from my main class PossibilitesPlotter.py
import sys
sys.path.append("plotterresources/PlotterProps.py")
from csv import reader
from pathlib import Path
from plotterresources.PlotterProps import PlotterProps
from possibilitiesplotter.PossibilitiesGraph import PossibilitiesGraph
from possibilitiesplotter.PossibilitiesModel import PossibilitiesModel
class PossibilitiesPlotter:

As a workaround, add the following line to PossibilitesPlotter.py:
sys.path.append("../plotterresources/PlotterProps.py")
This will add the directory one level above the commandline pwd to the PATH variable. So this is always relative to the location of the calling script/shell.
Thus in general:
NEVER append to the PATH/PYTHONPATH variable from within modules. Instead restructure your module. For more details, take a look at the documentation on Packaging Python Projects

How to fix 'ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package' in webscraping using scrapy

I'm trying to import the class from a spider folder, file but it gives me the error.
I used following method to import the class:
from .spiders.amazon_Spider import amazonSpider
Following is my files enlignment:
-amazonWebScraping
-amazonWebScraping
-spiders
-amazon_spiders.py
-scraper.py
I'm trying to access class amazonSpider(scrapy.Spider) from amazon_spider.py file, in scraper.py file but it's giving me the error
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Python : no JSON object could be decoded

I am trying to run this app:
https://github.com/bmjr/guhTrends
I have python 2.7.x running the following script at command line. I reckon it was written using python3.x. What is deprecated in the code below?
import urllib
import json
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
dates = urllib.request.urlopen('http://charts.spotify.com/api/tracks/most_streamed/global/weekly/')
dataDates = json.loads(dates.read().decode())
the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "DataMining.py", line 6, in <module>
dates = urllib.request.urlopen('http://charts.spotify.com/api/tracks/most_streamed/global/weekly/')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'request'

That script won't work under python2 as urllib of python2 has no request module.
Use urllib2.urlopen instead of urllib.request if you want start running that script under python2 .
To get python script work on bith (python2 and python3) use six module which is Python 2 and 3 Compatibility Library.
from six.moves import urllib
import json
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
dates = urllib.request.urlopen('http://charts.spotify.com/api/tracks/most_streamed/global/weekly/')
dataDates = json.loads(dates.read().decode())

You're requesting a resource that is not currently available (I'm seeing a 504). Since this could potentially happen any time you request a remote service, always check the status code on the response; it's not that your code is necessarily wrong, in this case it's that you're assuming the response is valid JSON without checking whether the request was successful.
Check the urllib documentation to see how to do this (or, preferably, follow the recommendation at the top of that page and use the requests package instead).

Import Exception DtdProcessing

I am getting the following error:
Cannot Import Name DtdProcessing
On this line:
from System.Xml import (DtdProcessing, ValidationType, XmlNodeType, XmlReader, XmlReaderSettings)
What could be causing this? Is there a possibility that I don't have the right version of .net installed?

Python type error while embedding

I am trying to run following python code from c++(embedding python).
import sys
import os
import time
import win32com.client
from com.dtmilano.android.viewclient import ViewClient
import re
import pythoncom
import thread
os.popen('adb devices')
CANalyzer = None
measurement = None
def can_start(config_path):
global CANalyzer,measurement
CANalyzer = win32com.client.Dispatch('CANalyzer.Application')
CANalyzer.Visible = 1
measurement = CANalyzer.Measurement
CANalyzer.Open(config_path)
measurement.Start()
com_marshall_stream = pythoncom.CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream(pythoncom.IID_IDispatch,CANalyzer)
return com_marshall_stream
When i try to call can_start function, i am getting python type error . Error traceback is mentioned below.
"type 'exceptions.TypeError'. an integer is required. traceback object at 0x039A198"
The function is executing if i directly ran it from the python and also it is executing in my pc, where the code was developed. But later when i transferred to another laptop, i am experiencing this problem.
