How to make pycharm always recognize imports in the same directory?

I have a file a.py in a directory somewhere inside the project, and in the same directory I have b.py. Inside a.py I want to be able to do:

import b

This works in Python, but Pycharm doesn't recognize it. Is there a way to make Pycharm always recognize import relative to the directory of the importing file?

EDIT: to clarify the issue, I already have sources root defined, and a.py and b.py are not at the top level. Here is a screenshot showing the issue: enter image description here

EDIT 2: based on the comments, this question is invalid and I should not be importing code in the way described.

You can do import .b.

Right click on the folder that you're working on

Select "Mark directory as" > "Sources Root"

Well this a feature with pycharm already, just mark the source root for your project and pycharm will take care of the rest
