[Python] "pylint (import error)" while import a module in the same folder with VSCode

I'm building my code in VSCode using python 3.7.3.

The folder structure:

project
├── main.py
└── modules
├── __init__.py
├── foo.py
└── boo.py


In foo.py:

import boo
boo.printBoo()


When I run foo.py it works. I can get the result I expect.

This is boo

But VSCode pops out:

Unable to import 'boo' pylint(import-error)
​

Though the code works, is there a way that I can get rid of pylint(import-error)?


I have tried to change the import statement to

from ..modules import boo as Boo

error: attempted relative import with no known parent package
​

and

import modules.boo as Boo

error: No module named 'modules'

What is the problem, is it pylint's problem or did I misuse the import?
