[Python]Can't make Travis CI work. PATHs problems

This is my first time using Travis and "test" in general. I created a few test and now I want to add them to Travis but I'm having trouble with PATHs.

Here is what I have:

sheetmaker/
      html_builder.py
      constants.py
      sheetmaker.py
tests/
      test_html_builder.py
      data/
              test_html_constants.py

I manage to run test_html_builder.py and test are working in my pc. In short this is how I'm importing stuff in test_html_builder.py

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('..'))
from sheetmaker import html_builder
from data import test_html_constants

This works locally but Travis CI says:

What is the right way to import stuff? Here is the github project for more details: github project!

Thanks in advance.

@cosme12 I didn't try your solution, but I was able to fix the path issue by explicitly declaring the PYTHONPATH in the .travis.yml

sample .travis.yml:

sudo: false
language: python

python:
  - "3.6"

install:
  - export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)/src/thermo
  - python3 setup.py install

script:
  - pytest -s

Just manually add the path that's missing to the .travis.yml and travis should work.

I like this solution because you don't need to alter your code, just the travis config file.

After tons of research, I started printing print(sys.path) to find out where "I was working". From there I created an exception handler

try:
    sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('..')) #Works for local
    from sheetmaker import html_builder
    from data import test_html_constants
except:
    sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('.')) #Works for Travis CI
    from sheetmaker import html_builder 
    from data import test_html_constants

Is this the right way to import modules? No idea, but it works.
