Calling Method from Different Python File
django, methods, python
Solution
Python has module level and class level methods. In this concept a "module" is a very special class that you get by using `import` instead of `Name()`. Try
from Example1.views import adder as otherAdder
to get access to the module level method. Now you can call `otherAdder()` and it will execute the code in the other module. Note that the method will be executed in the context of `Example1.views`, i.e. when it references things, it will look there.
Problem
As I'm currently learning Django / Python, I've not really been using the concept of Classes, yet. As far as I'm aware the method isn't static.. it's just a standard definition. So let's say I have this Package called `Example1` with a `views.py` that contains this method: ``` def adder(x,y): return x + y ``` Then I have an `Example2` which also has a `views.py` where I'd like to use this method `adder`. How would I got about doing this? EDIT: In Java it would be a simple instantiation then a `instantiation.Method()` or if it was static it would be `SomeClass.Method()` however I'm unsure how I should approach this in Python.
