Question

I’m looking for a way to move several python files in to a single file e.g.
Instead of two files

foobartest.py

from foo import *
bar()

foo.py

def bar()
    return 'foobar'

Doing something like this:

class foo():
    def bar()
#insert some way to get the class into the namespace
bar()

Is there a way to get a locally defined class into the root namespace of the same script?

The reason is that I want to merge several files without having change all bar() calls to foo.bar() and still have it relatively obvious how they’re broken up for someone reading the code.

edit: In the interest of clarity, I was looking for a way to do it for all functions in the class as opposed to individually for each function. Like a way to do a wild import on a class.

Answer 1

sounds super hacky, but you can do something like

>>> class A:
    def x():
        pass
    def y():
        pass


>>> globals().update(A.__dict__)
>>> x
<function x at 0x02AF1CB0>
>>> y
<function y at 0x022D8230>
>>>
