Question

I’m working on writing my first Python class. Being the java programmer that I am, I have something like this:

#class1.py
class class1:
    def __init__(self):
         #Do stuff here

And in my current script:

import class1
object = class1()

I’m getting a Name Error: name 'class1' is not defined

I’ve also tried this, with no luck:

import class1
object = class1.class1()

The error I get here is AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'class1'

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Python import is by module and then by the contents of the module, so for your class1.py it becomes:

from class1 import class1
