importing class from another file gives error when working and no error when not working

I am attempting to import a class named MainMenus from this file

B:\Programming\Python\RaceDash\src\UIModules\Menus.py

here is the code for the class

class MainMenus:
    def StartUp():
        #do stuff
    def MainMenu():
        #doing other stuff

I also have the _init_.py file in this path

B:\Programming\Python\RaceDash\src\UIModules\__init__.py

my main python file is here

B:\Programming\Python\RaceDash\src\Main.Py

and looks like this

from .UIModules.Menus import MainMenus

def Main():

    MainMenus.StartUp()

    while True:
        MainMenus.MainMenu()
        userSelect = input(": ")

Main()

pylance gives no errors when but when I attempt to run the program I get this error:

ile "b:\Programming\Python\RaceDash\src\Main.Py", line 1, in <module>
from .UIModules.Menus import MainMenus
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

When I remove the leading period pylance shows this error

Import "UIModules.Menus" could not be resolved

The application runs fine but I lose intellisense for any function from the other class.

What could be causing this issue?

My issue is solved by going to the folder of my program and changing the extension. My file were not register as py file because I have created them in my VScode folder.

You should move the package folder to a directory that is already in PATH

export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:B:\Programming\Python\RaceDash\src\
python3 Main.py
