NameError: global name 'myExample2' is not defined # modules

Question

Here is my example.py file:

from myimport import *
def main():
    myimport2 = myimport(10)
    myimport2.myExample() 

if __name__ == \"__main_         


        

Answer 1

While the other answers are correct, I wonder if there is really a need for myExample2() being a method. You could as well implement it standalone:

def myExample2(num):
    return num*num

class myClass:
    def __init__(self, number):
        self.number = number
    def myExample(self):
        result = myExample2(self.number) - self.number
        print(result)

Or, if you want to keep your namespace clean, implement it as a method, but as it doesn't need self, as a @staticmethod:

def myExample2(num):
    return num*num

class myClass:
    def __init__(self, number):
        self.number = number
    def myExample(self):
        result = self.myExample2(self.number) - self.number
        print(result)
    @staticmethod
    def myExample2(num):
        return num*num
