[Python] Beginner question regarding a failed Python import

I have a project structured as the following:

project
|- mobile_vision
|- |- mobile_cv
|- |- |- model_zoo
|- |- |- |- models
|- |- |- |- |- fbnet_v2.py
|- |- |- |- |- |- fbnet
|- my_code.py


I used git clone to clone the FBNet Github repo into my project directory, that's called repo. Now, in my_code.py, I attempt to from mobile_vision.mobile_cv.model_zoo.models.fbnet_v2 import fbnet.

However, I have a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named mobile_cv, even though I am running python my_code.py it from the root directory. I am working in a conda environment and installed all the necessary dependencies that I needed, and am using the interpreter in the conda environment. Is there something I am missing?

This is the traceback message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/my_name/Documents/research-project/models.py", line 3, in <module>
from mobile_vision.mobile_cv.model_zoo.models.fbnet_v2 import fbnet
File "/Users/my_name/Documents/research-project/mobile_vision/mobile_cv/model_zoo/models/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
from mobile_cv.common.misc.py import import_matching_modules
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mobile_cv'


Here is the setup.py file in mobile_vision (this was directly from the Repo):

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from os import path

from setuptools import find_packages, setup


def get_version():
init_py_path = path.join(
path.abspath(path.dirname(__file__)), "mobile_cv", "__init__.py"
)
init_py = open(init_py_path, "r").readlines()
version_line = [l.strip() for l in init_py if l.startswith("__version__")][0]
version = version_line.split("=")[-1].strip().strip("'\"")

# Used by CI to build nightly packages. Users should never use it.
# To build a nightly wheel, run:

if os.getenv("BUILD_NIGHTLY", "0") == "1":
from datetime import datetime

date_str = datetime.today().strftime("%y%m%d")
version = version + ".dev" + date_str

new_init_py = [l for l in init_py if not l.startswith("__version__")]
new_init_py.append('__version__ = "{}"\n'.format(version))
with open(init_py_path, "w") as f:
f.write("".join(new_init_py))
return version


setup(

"tabulate",
],

)


My conda env is called research-project. I had already installed numpy, pytorch, and any other dependencies prior. I also tried printing my sys.path. However, this is what I got:

sys.path = [
'/Users/aadirane/Documents/project',
'/Users/aadirane/miniforge3/envs/project/lib/python313.zip',
'/Users/aadirane/miniforge3/envs/project/lib/python3.13',
