Python cannot import a class because it's base module cannot be found

I have a folder

/app
  __init__.py
  main.py
    /folder
        __init__.py
        module1.py
        module_base.py

In main.py I try to import a class from module1.py

from folder.module1 import ModuleThing

PROBLEM: I get an error when I try to run main.py saying ModuleNotFoundError: No module named module_base

module1.py looks like this

from module_base import ModuleBase

class ModuleThing(ModuleBase):
    """
    """< and so on >

module_base.py looks like

class ModuleBase:
    """
    """< and so on >

I can't remember the correct arrangement of init.py files and so on to get this right. Any help is very much appreciated.

Imports are absolute by default. So you could use the absolute form:

from folder.module_base import ModuleBase

Or you could use the relative form:

from .module_base import ModuleBase

The Python tutorial on Modules is a good resource to learn more.
