Your understanding appears to be roughly correct, but you are overlooking the possibility that the package could manage its own namespace.Hello, I want to be able to say stuff like "import CJB.ClassA" and "import CJB.ClassB" then say "c = CJB.ClassA()" or "c = CJB.ClassB()". CJB will be a directory containing files "ClassA.py" and "ClassB.py".
Now that I think about it, that can't work because Python allows you import different things from the same module (file). If I said "import CJB.ClassA", I'd have to instantiate ClassA like "c = CJB.ClassA.ClassA()".
I guess I could say "from CJB.ClassA import ClassA", but then I'd instantiate like "c = ClassA()". What I really want is to say "c = CJB.ClassA()"...is that possible?
Is my understand of modules/packages correct or am I way off?
Thanks for the help.
One thing you could try is, in the __init__.py for CJB, do
from ClassA import ClassA from ClassB import ClassB
You can then refer to the classes using the names you want.
