Create object from class in separate file

Question

I have done several tutorials on Python and I know how to define classes, but I don\'t know how to use them. For example I create the following file (car.py

Answer 1

In your Mercedes.py, you should import the car.py file as follows (as long as the two files are in the same directory):

import car

Then you can do:

Mercedes = car.Car('Mercedes', 'S Class', 'Red')  #note the necessary 'car.'

Alternatively, you could do

from car import Car

Mercedes = Car('Mercedes', 'S Class', 'Red')      #no need of 'car.' anymore

Answer 2

Simply use the import command in your Mercedes file. There's a good intro about importing in Python in here

Answer 3

Mercedes.py:

from car import Car

This imports the Car class from car.py To use it:

Mercedes=Car('Mercedes', 'S Class', 'Red')
