Creating new instance objects

Question

I'm not sure that I've gotten this right. I'm working on learning Python and I'm wondering how exactly you call the constructor of a class. Currently the class is in it's own module that is imported in the main file. Is it right to go

Class.Class(variables, here)

Or is there some easier way to go about this?

@S.Lott It's easy but for instance in java it would just be Class(variables, here) — bringel

I don't see what's dramatically easier about the Java version. If you used from module import Class, the Python would be identical. — S.Lott

You create instances like this:

import MyMod
obj = MyMod.MyClass(param1, param2)

This is the canonical way to instantiate Python objects.

That's fine. Alternatively you can do:

from Class import Class
Class(variables, here)
