I'm trying to:

import support_functions

Modules are loaded from the Python path, which is a list of directories to search when using import. You can always add a folder to the Python path by using sys.path.append:

import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/package_containing_support_functions")

You can also set the PYTHONPATH environment variable in your operating system to control what modules paths Python loads before it runs your program.

In PyCharm you can set this in the Environment variables field in the Run/Debug window:
