python: Two modules and classes with the same name under different packages

Question

I have started to learn python and writing a practice app. The directory structure looks like

src
 |
 --ShutterDeck
    |
    --Helper
       |
       --User         


        

Answer 1

This might also help (struggled with similar problem today):

ShutterDeck
├── Controller
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── User.py
├── Helper
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── User.py
└── __init__.py

in ShutterDeck/{Controller,Helper}/__init__.py:

from .User import User

And then:

>>> import ShutterDeck.Helper
>>> helperUser = ShutterDeck.Helper.User()
>>> helperUser

>>> import ShutterDeck.Controller
>>> controllerUser = ShutterDeck.Controller.User()
>>> controllerUser
