Module not found issue

I'm a bit new to running code from the terminal. I am running a test module called test_blbmktdata.py from the terminal by running:

python -m unittest test_blbmktdata.py

And am getting a error:

File "C:\Users\stacey\Documents\MERLIN\MERLIN - WORKING\dao_all\dao\iotools\tests\test_blbmktdata.py", line 3, in <module>
    from dao.iotools.blbmktdata import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dao'

The folder dao does exit:

C:\Users\stacey\Documents\MERLIN\MERLIN - WORKING\dao_all\dao\iotools

Please see below for the beginning of the module (where the problem is).

import unittest
import os.path
from dao.iotools.blbmktdata import *

class TestBlbMktData(unittest.TestCase):
    staticName='StaticInstrumentData.csv'

If I run the code from the terminal do I need to change the way I reference imports from different folders?

Thanks

In addition to shahaf's answer, it is worthwhile to look at the official documentation on module resolution : https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#the-module-search-path

python don't know where to look for the dao model

add the follwoing lines before the import 

import sys
sys.path.append(<path to prj root directory>)

also you will need to have a init.py file (empty file) in each directory of the dao so python could recognise it as a module
