'module' object is not callable - calling method in another file

Question

I have a fair background in java, trying to learn python. I\'m running into a problem understanding how to access methods from other classes when they\'re in different file

Answer 1

• from a directory_of_modules, you can import a specific_module.py
• this specific_module.py, can contain a Class with some_methods() or just functions()
• from a specific_module.py, you can instantiate a Class or call functions()
• from this Class, you can execute some_method()

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python3
from directory_of_modules import specific_module
instance = specific_module.DbConnect("username","password")
instance.login()

Excerpts from PEP 8 - Style Guide for Python Code:

Modules should have short and all-lowercase names.

Notice: Underscores can be used in the module name if it improves readability.

A Python module is simply a source file(*.py), which can expose:

• Class: names using the "CapWords" convention.

• Function: names in lowercase, words separated by underscores.

• Global Variables: the conventions are about the same as those for Functions.
