I am currently making my way through the tutorial for creating the custom Open Academy Module. I am getting stuck in the inheritance section. I am trying to inherit the res.partner model and add the instructor and session_ids fields to id. I currently have the module and installed and able to access it. When trying to upgrade I am a lengthy error message about the instructor field not existing. I have tried restarting the PostgreSQL_For_Odoo - PostgreSQL Server 9.5 and odoo-server-12.0 services before running the Update Apps List. Afterwards I go and try and upgrade the module resulting in the below error.
Error:

It turns out I was trying to import the .py file where I was doing the inheritance in the work place. I have been following this tutorial for creating a module: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/12.0/howtos/backend.html.
In the tutorial it says Create a file openacademy/models/partner.py and import it in __init__.py. Where I went wrong it implies you need to add the import to the __init__.py in the root of your module. When it needs to actually be in imported in the __init__.py inside the models folder, since that is where you file exists.
Interestingly moving the import to the correct place and restarting the odoo server didn't fix the problem. I had to restart the module from scratch!
