I am attempting to run a script which calls another python file (copied along with its entire github repo), but I am getting a ModuleNotFoundError: This is despite putting the files into the correct directories.

How I run it

1. Activate my python3.9 virtual environment
2. (newpy39) aevas@aevas-Precision-7560:~/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12$ python3 dashboard.py where aevas is my username, and ~/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12 is the folder

No additional arguments required to run it.

Imports for dashboard.py

import sys
sys.path.insert(1, 'targetTrack')

from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread, pyqtSignal

import argparse
import configparser
import platform
import shutil
import time

Part 1: Models not found, despite models being the parent folder.

python3 dashboard.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/aevas/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12/dashboard.py", line 25, in <module>
    from trackerThread import trackerDeepSORT
  File "/home/aevas/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12/trackerThread.py", line 15, in <module>
    from yolov5.models.experimental import attempt_load
  File "/home/aevas/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12/targetTrack/yolov5/models/experimental.py", line 14, in <module>
    from models.common import Conv
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'models'

Part 2: After changing import models.common to import common, it turns out even common cannot be found despite being in the same folder !

python3 dashboard.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/aevas/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12/dashboard.py", line 25, in <module>
    from trackerThread import trackerDeepSORT
  File "/home/aevas/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12/trackerThread.py", line 15, in <module>
    from yolov5.models.experimental import attempt_load
  File "/home/aevas/Desktop/Dashboard_2021_12/targetTrack/yolov5/models/experimental.py", line 14, in <module>
    from common import Conv
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'common'

This is how the files are like in the folder models

and this is how the import portion of experimental.py looks like
