[Python] How to run a Python code inside a custom package?

I'm using Visual Studio Code.

Suppose my folder looks like:

├── main.py
└── package
├──__init__.py
├──utils.py
└──method.py


In my method.py, I import the utils.py, which is in the same directory, so I put the dot before the name:

from .utils import *


then I can run the script in main.py like:

from package import method


This will work. But the question is, how I can run the script in method.py at its directory instead of importing it in main.py? If I run the script method.py directly, an error will occur:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '__main__.modules'; '__main__' is not a package


What can I do to run the script in method.py without removing the dot as from utils import *?
