If I call a function that imports another module in the same directory in Python, why do I get a ModuleNotFoundError?

There are a few reasons why you might get a ModuleNotFoundError when trying to import a module in Python:

1. Incorrect module name or path: You may have misspelled the name of the module or provided an incorrect path to the module. Make sure the module name and path are correct.

2. Missing init.py file: Python requires an init.py file in the directory to recognize it as a package. If the init.py file is missing, Python won't be able to import the module.

3. PYTHONPATH issue: If the module is not located in the same directory as your Python script or the Python interpreter, you may need to add the directory to your PYTHONPATH environment variable. This will tell Python where to look for the module.

4. Circular dependencies: If your module imports another module that, in turn, imports your module, you may get a circular dependency error. This can happen if you have not structured your code properly.

It's essential to check these things and resolve the issue appropriately to ensure Python can import and use the module you're trying to call from another module or script.
