eclipse pydev cannot find my package when trying to run a module

Question

I am having issues with Eclipse's pydev not finding my package when trying to run my code. The layout of my project is my_project > src > my_package > modules.py The PYTHONPATH for the project includes the my_project > src and I have no problems running my tests. However when I try to run I get the message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/gturek/dev/git/moniqua_maps/src/moniqua_maps/moniqua_maps.py", line 11, in <module>
    from moniqua_maps.Resources import Resources
  File "/Users/gturek/dev/git/moniqua_maps/src/moniqua_maps/moniqua_maps.py", line 11, in <module>
    from moniqua_maps.Resources import Resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'moniqua_maps.Resources'; 'moniqua_maps' is not a package

I am stumped.

Changing setting in Eclipse as suggested (launching with python -m) results in a slightly different error message

Please include your full error.

Also, how do you run it in the command line?

If the issue is that you have relative imports, one thing that may make a difference is that you may want to launch with python -m when running from inside PyDev (you need to turn on the `Launch modules with "python -m mod.name" instead of "python filename.py").
