OK thanks I'll go over what I have done as I must have done something
stupid as I thought I tested it earlier and couldn't get it to work
like you suggested. Broadly this is how I am using it (incase it is
obvious, although perhaps it just works and I need to recheck). Apart
from that thanks for the modules idea it is very simple and seems to
be working nicely in principle.
from other_model import OtherSubModel
class Model:
def __init__(self):
# included other external modules (i.e. in other files)
om = OtherSubModel()
def run(self):
# call other submodel and pass params
om.run(params)
and the other file would look something like this
class OtherSubModel:
def __init__(self):
#some stuff
def run(params):
