If your own module is in the same path, you need mark the path as Sources Root. In the project explorer, right-click on the directory that you want import. Then select Mark Directory As and select Sources Root.

So if you go to

-> Setting -> Project:My_project -> Project Structure,

Just the directory in which the source code is available and mark it as "Sources" (You can see it on the same window). The directory with source code should turn blue. Now u can import in modules residing in same directory.

I was having this problem just now and I was able to solve it in sort of a similar way that @Beatriz Fonseca and @Julie pointed out.

If you go to File -> Settings -> Project: YourProjectName -> Project Structure, you'll have a directory layout of the project you're currently working in. You'll have to go through your directories and label them as being either the Source directory for all your Source files, or as a Resource folder for files that are strictly for importing.

You'll also want to make sure that you place __init__.py files within your resource directories, or really anywhere that you want to import from, and it'll work perfectly fine.
