Import modules from current directory?

Question

Python

Good afternoon!
On the server, importing files that are in the same directory works only through . (dot) If the dot is removed, then a fatal crash occurs that the module is not found. Without a dot it worked for python 2.7 after upgrading to 3.5 it stopped. I read that these versions have a different search priority for modules. How to make python look first in the current folder and then look for global modules? The main question is how to get rid of the dot?
from .app import app
