ImportError when trying to generate docs

[omrihar]

This is probably a very beginner question, but I have been unable to solve this.
I am trying to run pydoc-markdown to generate documentation for my package. The package is defined via a setup.py and setup.cfg files and has the structure of:

src/
    __init__.py
   submodule/
       __init__.py
      files...
tests/
docs/

and is, of course, installed in its own venv for testing. When I try to follow the documentation and run something akin to
pydoc-markdown -I src -m package.module I get an ImportError cannot import package.module, which is unsurprising because pydoc-markdown is installed via pipx and my package is installed in its own venv.

How can I get the documentation engine to run? I'm sorry if this is a very basic question, but I really don't know how to proceed here...

Thanks!

Hety @omrihar , sorry for the delay here. Having an __init__.py in a src/ directory looks weird; is the name to import your package src?

Can you give this a try instead?

pydoc-markdown -I src -p submodule
