Answer 1

Here is an example about how to import a class as a library and not the whole python file:

1. In a folder named tests there is a test.robot and an OrderList.py file.

2. OrderList.py:

   class OrderList():
              pass
   
   class Ordertable(OrderList):
          def click_order(self):
               print('foo')
   

3. test.robot:

   *** Settings ***
   Library        OrderList.Ordertable
   
   *** Test Cases ***
   AA
       click order
   

4. Launch it with the following command from the parent folder of the tests folder: robot --pythonpath .\tests\ --test AA .\tests\test.robot

5. Result:

   PS prompt> robot --pythonpath .\tests\ --test AA .\tests\test.robot
