Question

I have program with two files; main.py that has my main logic and class.py which has my classes. My problem is that I can’t figure out how to call a function in main.py from a function in a class in class.py. Here’s a simple example:

in class1.py

class Class1: 

    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value

    def main_logic(self):
        if self.value == 'y':
            return self.value
        else:
            self.value == 'n':
                #main()??   How would I call main() in main.py?

in main.py

def display1():  
    print('Main Menu')

def main():
    create_obj = Class1(value1)
    new_object = Class1.main_logic()
    if new_object == 'y':
        display1()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Of course if there is a better way to structure something like this I could use some help there as well.

This is generally not the best method of writing code, but you could: import main; main.display1() (or import whateverTHEfileNAMEis if its not main.py) like so:

class Class1:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value

    def main_logic(self):
        if self.value == 'y':
            return self.value
        else:
            self.value == 'n':
                import main
                main.display1()
