More specifically let’s say I have a number of .py files, with main.py importing stuff like os, pygame, math and all my other .py files, mymodule01.py etc.

My problem is that whenever main.py calls on one of my .py files and that file contains something like an os.listdir() I keep getting an error saying stuff like ‘os is not defined’.

Should I just import all the required modules in each .py file I write, or is there a better way, like a centralized import that every file can recognize? With pygame especially this would be very confusing since I’d have to init pygame in each file just to use it’s functions, not to mention if I want to blit something on the screen.

The python modules and packages documentation didn’t help much, that or I’m really slow, also considering that after following the doc I keep getting a not found error after adding e.g. import mymodule01.py in the init.py file in the containing folder.

    Yes.

    No, only init it once. There’s only one copy of the module.
