[Python] Cannot import name 'function' from 'module.py' - same directory, another function...

I have a Jupyter Notebook - we'll call it main, and I'm running it piecemeal in Jupyter Lab 3.0.14 using a Python 3 environment.

Within this notebook, I'm trying to import custom functions from a module, we'll call this one module.py, which is in the same directory as main.

It looks something like this:

//main

import sys
import os
from module import foo, bar


//module.py

def foo():
return

def bar():
return


When I run the import statements in main, it throws an error

ImportError: cannot import name 'bar' from 'module' (/module.py)


If I run

from module import foo


or

from module import *


It's fine (although calling the functions will throw an error that the function is not defined). In fact, it will import foo even if there's no function named foo in module.py. It won't import any of my own functions by name. I feel like I must be missing something fundamental, here...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
