'import module' searches directories on sys.path for a file or directory
named 'module'. sys.path starts with '.', which represents the
'current' directory. If you start with the directory containing main.py
as current directory and 'folder-name' is in the same directory, the
import should work. Otherwise ??? EclipseIDE probably modifies the
current dir and/or path to make things work.
For any more help, post the OS and locations of main.py, folder_name,
and python.
