Quickly application How to call function from other .py files?

  • 772

I'm new to programing and I'm writing my first python program using quickly. I have added new window and on this new window I want to call function from main window? I google for it and all I found is that I nned to import it but it didnt know how.

Here is what I put new window:

from magic_ebay.MagicEbayWindow import MagicEbayWindow

and I get error:

ImportError: cannot import name MagicEbayWindow

MagicEbayWindow.py is the name of main window in my program and I want to call function from MagicEbayWindow.py but on other window. ( dont know if it make any sense :) )

Thanks for any help!

    When you run:

    from magic_ebay.MagicEbayWindow import MagicEbayWindow

    You are essentially saying "Please import the MagicEbayWindow symbol from the MagicEbayWindow module in the magic_ebay package". The error message indicates that your MagicEbayWindow.py module doesn't have such a symbol.

    There are a few ways you could fix this:

    1. Just import the module:

      from magic_ebay import MagicEbayWindow

      You can then access functions within the module as e.g. MagicEbayWindow.foo()

    2. Import individual functions from the module:

      from magic_ebay.MagicEbayWindow import foo

      With this style, you can call the functions without the module name prefix.
