Custom app Python module import

How does Frappe resolve Python imports from modules within the custom app?

I have created an utility script file … /app/app/custom/utils.py to host common function to use within my app, how do I make Frappe see it? My IDE successfully resolves all of the import chain, but when I try to use an imported function in a script (for example, report script), I get client-side error like this:

Screenshot_20190529_160240
Screenshot_20190529_1602401193×410 29.2 KB

The scripted report itself is working if I inline the imported function.

Okay, I found the solution.

Use resolved imports and simply remove top-level module which is app name.

from app.app.custom.utils import helper
becomes
from app.custom.utils import helper
