". import certs"

I am using facepy for GAE with python

I got a an error and when I track the error, I found 

from . import certs

in utils.py file

What does the dot (.) mean?

certs.py is just in the same folder with utils.py

It is a relative import, which means basically what you say in your last sentence - it is going to look in the current folder relative to the current module to find the module certs.

It means import from the same folder. See if there's an __init__.py file in that folder, if not that might be why it's unhappy.
