Python class definition--import statement
python
Solution
You should look up how import and PYTHONPATH work. In your case, you can solve that using:
from Person import Person
I see you're coming from a Java background (where each file must have a class with the same name of the file), but that's not how Python modules work.
In short, when you run a Python script from the command line, as you did, it looks for modules (among other places) in your current dir. When you import a (simple) name like you did, Python will look for:
- A file named `Basic.py`; or:
- A folder named Basic with a file named `__init__.py`.
Then it will look for a definition inside that module named `Person`.
Problem
I have defined 2 classes- Person & Manager. The Manager inherits the Person class. I get a error while trying to import the Person class.. Code is give below. Person.py ``` class Person: def __init__(self, name, age, pay=0, job=None): self.name = name self.age = age self.pay = pay self.job = job def lastname(self): return self.name.split()[-1] def giveraise(self,percent): #return self.pay *= (1.0 + percent) self.pay *= (1.0 + percent) return self.pay ``` Manager.py ``` from Basics import Person class Manager(Person): def giveRaise(self, percent, bonus=0.1): self.pay *= (1.0 + percent + bonus) return self.pay ``` Error statements: C:\Python27\Basics>Person.py C:\Python27\Basics>Manager.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python27\Basics\Manager.py", line 1, in from Basics import Person ImportError: No module named Basics Why do I get the No module found error?
