The package isn’t in the class path. It doesn’t know where to look for package. It only knows of the current folder and everything below it. Here’s how I would fix it and would involve manually adding it to the classpath. We find the folder with the sys module and we append it to our path. Then we import.

import sys
import os

script_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
mymodule_dir = os.path.join(script_dir, '..', 'package')
sys.path.append(mymodule_dir)
import module
print(module.Animal())
