ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'python_debug_tools'

1. Why this error?
2. It is because my module is not on the python sys.path?
3. It is possible to run it without adding it to the sys.path?

Here are some more error messages with different commands:

[NiklasRosenstein]

I can reproduce your issue, and a quick workaround is to use PYTHONPATH=. before the command, as in

$ PYTHONPATH=. pydoc-markdown simple python_debug_tools.logger+

So yes, it's because pydoc-markdown doesn't add the current working directory to sys.path. I suppose this would be a sensible behaviour, though.
