brownie: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Users.t'

This error shows up even if I just run a simple script:

t.lolaev@t-lolaev freaky-goblins % brownie run scripts/deploy.py 
Brownie v1.16.4 - Python development framework for Ethereum

FreakyGoblinsProject is the active project.

UPD

The problem is that my home directory is called t.lolaev. I solved the problem by moving the project outside of this directory (to the /Users folder)

Please fix this so that other users with a dot in the name of the home directory do not have such problems

@poloxue You just made my day 😄. I posted it a year ago and received a notification now. I’ve left blockchain space but I’m glad I left some important footprints.

Okay, so problem is _import_from_path( ) function.

Refer this discussion for complete details :- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68721661/eth-brownie-no-module-named-users-someuser/72063674#72063674

I can’t exactly elaborate what’s wrong with the function but all I can say that the condition for “disk partition” is not kept in mind while writing this function. hence, it works fine in linux.

Possible Solution :-

Move your project to the drive where pip install packages. ( C:// drive in my case). It worked for me.
change the code of _import_from_path( ) function as described in stackoverflow’s answer.

Expected help from community :- Please improve this code in subsequent versions of brownie.

@fivetran-connorbrereton, take a look at CountZer0’s change here: https://github.com/eth-brownie/brownie/pull/1446 and try and implement that code change into ur brownie code and retry running things. Not sure if CountZer0’s change will work but it is probably worth a try.
