"." is not a module name.

No, such an answer will not suit me, as always they will put everything together, there’s nothing you can’t figure out there, I don’t see any answers, I would like specifics on what’s wrong and how to correctly indicate, everything seems to be simple and understandable.

Sigh...

The format of the from statement to import stuff is this:

from packageName import itemName

Now look your from statement:

from. import views

You specified the pacakgeName as "." That's a "Package Relative Import," meaning the item you're trying to import should be in the same package as the from statement.

It's telling you that "views" doesn't exist in your package.

Here is how the import system works: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html
Scroll down to section 5.7 Package Relative Imports

I want to import the view file in my code, is there something not correctly indicated there? I write the code according to the video, everything is written in the same way and everything works.

If the view.py file is in the same folder as your current .py file, then it should be a simple

from view import *
