if have file 'needy' in module 'module', trying access 'utils' in same 'module'. inside 'needy':
from module.utils import fly # works in python3 whereas
from utils import fly # works in python2 example

this works fine(similar python3) command line in python2.

this sounds implicit relative import. if module has
from __future__ import absolute_import at top, force import interpreted absolute import, it's looking utils module on sys.path, , not finding it. importerror.
hmm, can't see in code. anyway, if still want import relative one, can replace with
from .utils import fly this explicit package-relative import.
