Unable to import module

[DawChihLiou]

The Question: Hi,

I'm trying out python-shell in a next.js project and I wasn't able to import my local python module in the script.

const messages = await PythonShell.runString(`from example_module import a, b, c`);

I'm using a pyproject.toml at the project root to define the local module:

[tool.poetry]
packages = [{include = "example_module", from = "python"}]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = ">=3.11,<3.13"
bayesian = {path = "./python/example_module", develop = true }

This is the error I'm seeing.

- error TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "string" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or ArrayBuffer. Received an instance of PythonShellError

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you so much.
