My Python imports don't work as they should according to tutorials

Introduction

I'm having problems with importing my own modules/packages so I searched up some tutorials (written and youtube) and was trying to solve my problems. However nothing really worked so I recreated the structure of a tutorial to follow it step by step (sweetcode.io).

I'm using Python 3.9.13 installed via anaconda on a win10 machine

Structure of the sample project

-- tutorial
   |-- subfolder1
   |    |-- subfolder2
   |    |   |-- __init__.py
   |    |   |-- student.py
   |    |   `-- user.py
   |    |-- __init__.py
   |    `-- item.py
   |-- subfolder3
   |   |-- __init__.py
   |   |-- accounts.py
   |   `-- registration.py
   |-- __init__.py
   `-- security.py

I could follow the tutorial up to the part where they talk about importing a module backwards, so say from student.py import the module security.py. However as soon as I try to do that I get an error message.

Attempt 1:

code in student.py:

import tutorial.security

powershell command (currently inside the tutorial directory):

python .\subfolder1\subfolder2\student.py

error received:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Schnetzubroot\Documents\test\subfolder1\subfolder2\student.py", line 1, in <module>
    import tutorial.security
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tutorial.security'

Attempt 2:

if I change the code in student.py to: from test import security I still get the same error message

Attempt 3:

When trying to use a relative import as such: from ... import security i get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Schnetzubroot\Documents\tutorial\subfolder1\subfolder2\student.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ... import security
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

If somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd really appreciate it because I don't see what I'm doing wrong. Also any feedback to the post is appreciated as this is my first question here

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
