Importing file from local sub-folder

I am importing a python file that resides in a local sub-folder. But I get the below error upon trying to import:

ImportError: cannot import name 'Conf' from 'subfolder.utils'

Does this error mean it cannot find the python file I am trying to import? Or does it mean the file I am trying to import has errors in it? How do I resolve this error?

My folder structure is:

src/   
  __init__.py
  main.py   
  subfolder/ 
    __init__.py 
    utils/  
      __init__.py
      conf.py

main.py: 

from subfolder.utils import Conf

conf.py:

class Conf:
   ....

*I am using python 3.6

You need to mention the module name i.e. conf.py in the import.

So, you can effectively do from subfolder.utils.conf import Conf

Alternatively, you can import the Conf in utils/__init__.py and your imports should work just fine.
