I am very new to Python and have strange error. I am using Eclipse/PyDev for development and Python 2.7.3 in eclipse and commandline. I created several modules, every folder has init.py file and other source files. When I try to execute file with __name__ == '__main__' from eclipse it works fine but from command line when I call like 

python models.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "models.py", line 8, in <module>
    from database import uuid_generator
ImportError: No module named database

it looks likeenter image description here
Can anybody give me clue what can be problem ?

    Apparently eclipse has added the database directory to the module search path.

    To get the same effect without modifying the script you can append the path to database into $PYTHONPATH environment variable.

    If you are open to modifying the script you can add this towards the top after importing relevant modules sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))))

    untested hack
