ModuleNotFoundError even though module/file clearly exists

I keep getting the error below after trying many different ways of importing files in Python.

  File "/Users/mengjial/Documents/Python_Programs/flask-rethink/flask-rethink/app/views.py", line 3, in <module>
import forms

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'forms'

The structure of the /Users/mengjial/Documents/Python_Programs/flask-rethink/flask-rethink/app/ folder is as below

.
├── __init__.py
├── __init__.pyc
├── __pycache__
│   ├── __init__.cpython-39.pyc
│   ├── forms.cpython-39.pyc
│   └── views.cpython-39.pyc
├── forms.py
├── models.py
├── templates
│   ├── base.html
│   └── index.html
└── views.py

Clearly forms.py is parallel to views.py in the same directory, and in views.py I have

import sys
sys.path.append('f/Users/mengjial/Documents/Python_Programs/flask-rethink/flask-rethink/app/forms.py')
import forms

What went wrong for me?

In this case, maybe this should work:

from . import forms

I tried it, and worked fine.
