ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'modeling'

Question

I'm very new to deep learning and python and I'm trying to recreate the project at https://github.com/Nagakiran1/Extending-Google-BERT-as-Question-and-Answering-model-and-Chatbot

As I saw that in the project there is a file named Bert_QuestionAnswer.ipynb and with data.txt are the only difference I see from the original Bert repository, I just simply loaded it in my google drive and opened it as a notebook to see it in use. When I run the first portion dough I get the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'modeling'errror. What library is it part of? For somoebody this was the problem :

It looks like it's trying to import from the github repo source rather than the pip package.

If you are running this in a directory that contains the BERT github repo, try running it elsewhere.

As always many thanks for the help. This is the code of the file that throws me the error :

from __future__ import absolute_import
from __future__ import division
from __future__ import print_function

You need to tell python where this module is:

import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/your/bert/repo")

Because python will search in his system folders and in the current working directory. If you don't run it in the repo, python doesn't find this module.
