'pip install -e' gives error with project name "yolov3"

I have installed a couple of dependencies in editable state using pip install -e path/to/project, using the command parameter -e for the first time today.

For the first dependency, the project sort, everything worked perfectly.

But for the other dependency, the project yolov3 things didn't work out as fine, although I have used the same exact commands:

To installation

(torch) user@user-PC:~/Code/Project$ pip install -e Detection/yolov3/

To check

(torch) user@user-PC:~/Code/Project$ pip show yolov3
Name: yolov3
Version: 1.0
Summary: UNKNOWN
Home-page: UNKNOWN
Author: UNKNOWN
Author-email: UNKNOWN
License: UNKNOWN
Location: /home/user/Code/Project/Detection/yolov3
Requires: 
Required-by:

To use

from sort import Sort    
from yolov3 import get_detections_from_single_frame as get_detections

dummy_frame = None    
mot_tracker = Sort()    
track_bbs_ids = mot_tracker.update(get_detections(dummy_frame))

But I get an error as

(torch) user@user-PC:~/Code/Project$ python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 10, in <module>
    from yolov3 import get_detections_from_single_frame as get_detections
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yolov3'

I have tried to change the name to yolo to eliminate the number in the module name and it did not work, but I might have failed to change the project name itself.

Here is the setup.py that I am using for the project yolov3 (I am using the same for sort, except for the name property for obvious reasons):

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(name='yolov3', version='1.0', packages=find_packages())

Here is the project structure:

yolov3/
├── __init__.py
├── models/
|   ├── __init__.py
|   ├── liba1.py
|   ├── liba2.py
|   ├── liba3.py
├── utils/
|   ├── __init__.py
|   ├── libb1.py
|   ├── libb2.py
|   ├── libb3.py
└── weights/
    └──  libc1.py

Could someone please tell me what am I missing?

PS:

Following Haller Patrick's advice, modifying the project structure eliminated the original error message.

yolov3/
├──  yolov3/
|    ├── __init__.py
|    ├── models/
|    |   ├── __init__.py
|    |   ├── liba1.py
|    |   ├── liba2.py
|    |   ├── liba3.py
|    ├── utils/
|    |   ├── __init__.py
|    |   ├── libb1.py
|    |   ├── libb2.py
|    |   ├── libb3.py
|    └── weights/
|        └──  libc1.py
|
└── setup.py

But a message in a deeper folder level appeared:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/Code/Project/main.py", line 10, in <module>
    from yolov3.detect import get_detections_from_single_frame as get_detections
  File "/home/user/Code/Project/Detection/yolov3/yolov3/detect.py", line 9, in <module>
    from models.experimental import attempt_load
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'models'

For a precise answer, you would have to provide the project structure of the package yolov3. But I guess the problem is that the package yolov3, does not include a module to build.

A minimal project structure has to look like this:

yolov3/
├── yolov3/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── lib1.py
│   ├── ...
│   └── ...
├── setup.py

Important is the __init__.py file, so yolov3 can be imported as a module. This worked for me.

For reference, here is a python package which uses this structure: https://github.com/gruns/icecream
