the short answer is a file is a module; therefore to 'include' access to 'myclass' in file xyz.py from another file called 'abc.py' you would put this in abc.py
import xyz #note no '.py' x = xyz.myclass() or from xyz import myclass #if you're lazy use ... import * x = myclass() see the basic tutorial on modules and importing > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of RossGK > Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 2:10 PM > To: python-list@python.org > Subject: PyDev multiple source files? > > > Newbie questions on PyDev project setup.
