Importing python file in AWS Cloud9 Lambda

I built a simple lambda function using AWS Cloud9. Now I want my lambda to do a bit more. So I created another python file with some functions and saved it in the same directory.

myLambdaName
  - myLambdaName
     - lambda_function.py
     - other_function.py

In my lambda function, I try to import this ( import other_function).

If I run the function in the cloud9 terminal, no issues (python3 lambda_function.py). But when I go to test the lambda function locally, via AWS Resources tab > Run (local), I get the error that my new python file doesn't exist:

Unable to import module 'myLambdaName/lambda_function': No module named 'other_function'

What am I missing here? How do I tell the lambda to pick up the file?

Add your function name to the import path, like 

import myLambdaName.other_function

See screenshot below for example that I've just tested with ApplicationName being the application name, while FunctionName being the function name.
