Python is able to import a module from the same directory, but there may be several reasons why it might fail to do so. Some possible reasons include:

1. Typo in module name or file name: If the name of the module or the file name has a typo, Python will not be able to locate it in the same directory.

2. Incorrect path specification: If the path to the module is not specified correctly, Python will not be able to find it. For example, if the path is relative and starts with a ".", but the current working directory is different, the module cannot be found.

3. Name conflicts: If there are multiple files with the same name in the same directory, Python may not be able to interpret which one to import.

4. File permission issues: If the file permissions for the module are not set correctly, Python may not be able to access it.

5. Circular import: If there is a circular import dependency between the module and other modules in the same directory, Python may not be able to resolve the dependency and import the module.
