Question

In src/webprofiles/__init__.py I have

def match(string)

Now how can I make a call to this match from `src/python.py, which contains

from webprofiles import *

for x in text
    a= webprofiles.match(x)

Its giving me an error

NameError: global name 'webprofiles' is not defined

Answer 1

When you use from import form, you must call function without module prefix.
just call the functions and attributes via their names.

from webprofiles import *

for x in text:
    a= match(x)

but i suggest to DO NOT use wildcard(‘*’) imports.
use this instead:

from webprofiles import match

for x in text:
    a= match(x)
