Cannot import module in python

Question

Here's the directory structure

.../Desktop/scratch/abc/greet.py

I have my import code module.py in abc

.../Desktop/scratch/module.py:

import sys 
sys.path.append("C:\\Users\\Name\\Desktop\\scratch")
import abc.greet

I have created empty init file in abc and greet folders.

But when i run this code then error be like:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1519, in _find_and_load_unlocked AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__path__'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "module.py", line 4, in <module>
    import abc.greet ImportError: No module named 'abc.greet'; abc is not a package

I don't understand why this happens? How is abc not a module when I have created the init file and also added the scratch directory to the search path.

PS: greet.py just contains a method hello which prints "hello world", if this info is of any use.

Okay, you have a abc\greet.py file and you say there's greet folder... which is it? — Mike DeSimone

Python already has a module named abc. Choose a different name.
