text: I'm trying to brush up on my python skills, and I'm dicking around with writing classes but I seem to have run into a really confusing error. Despite importing the .py file containing my class, python is insistent that the class doesn't actually exist.
  class def:
  class greeter:
  def __init__(self, arg1=None):
  self.text = arg1
  def sayHi(self):
  return self.text
  main.py:
  #!/usr/bin/python
  import testclass
  sayinghi = greeter("hello world!")
  print sayinghi.sayHi()
  now as far as I can tell, I have followed all the documentation down to the 't', I even initialized arguments to None because of eval time vs creation time constraints etc which seemed to be a problem with some people, I have made sure init is the first function defined as well still to no avail, although I have a theory that the import is not working as it should.... Any help would be much appreciated.
  Use the fully-qualified name:
  sayinghi = testclass.greeter("hello world!")
  There is an alternative form of
  import that would bring
  greeter into your namespace:
  from testclass import greeter
  import testclass # change to from testclass import greeter
  or
  import testclass sayinghi = greeter("hello world!") # change to import testclass sayinghi = testclass.greeter("hello world!")
  You imported the module/package, but you need to reference the class inside it.
  You could also do this instead
  from testclass import *
  but then beware of namespace pollution
