[Python] Relative imports - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named x

This is the first time I've really sat down and tried python 3, and seem to be failing miserably. I have the following two files:

1. test.py
2. config.py

config.py has a few functions defined in it as well as a few variables. I've stripped it down to the following:

config.py

debug = True


test.py

import config
print (config.debug)


I also have an __init__.py

However, I'm getting the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'config'


I'm aware that the py3 convention is to use absolute imports:

from . import config


However, this leads to the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'config'


So I'm at a loss as to what to do here... Any help is greatly appreciated.
