If you do this often or have lots of classes you want to import this
way, you could automate it:
#======== Foo.py ====================================
class Foo(object):
pass
#======== Bar.py ====================================
class Bar(object):
pass
#======== test.py ====================================
from autoimport import autoimport
autoimport("Foo","Bar")
if __name__ == '__main__':
print Foo
print Bar
# output:
# <class 'Foo.Foo'>
# <class 'Bar.Bar>
#======== autoimport.py ====================================
import sys
def autoimport(*modulenames):
'''
Perform the equivalent of "from XXX import XXX" for every
module XXX in modulenames. In case of packaged modules, it is
equivalent to "from XXX.YYY.ZZZ import ZZZ"
'''
caller_frame = sys._getframe(1)
caller_locals = caller_frame.f_locals
# import every module XXX and add the XXX.XXX object
# to the caller's locals
for name in modulenames:
# in case of packaged modules A.B.C, make sure to import C
module = __import__(name, caller_frame.f_globals,
caller_locals, [name])
# extract 'C' from 'A.B.C'
attribute = name[name.rfind('.')+1:]
if hasattr(module,attribute):
caller_locals[attribute] = getattr(module,attribute)
#==================================================
Or even better, forget about the braindead java restriction of one
class per file and organize your code as it makes more sense to you.
