It`s been a while since I create my classes and import them to my script, using
from <folder> import <file>
and my file.py looks like this:
class myClass:
def __init__():
and so on.
However, whenever I want to use this class on my main script, I have to do:
file.myClass()
Is thera a better way so I could use only "myClass()"?
I have recreated the scenario with the following directory structure:
.
├── outer.py
└── some_folder
└── inner.py
You missed the self in __init__ method:
some_folder/inner.py:
class myClass:
def __init__(self):
print("myClass is initiated")
Import the class from the file when you want to directly use the class name.
outer.py:
from some_folder.inner import myClass
some_object = myClass()
Output:
myClass is initiated
myClass is MyClass according to PEP8 style guide. Read more here: python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#class-names
from <folder1>.<folder2>.<file> import <class> ?Instead of importing the file, you can import the class
from package.module import MyClass
from <folder.file> import myClass
