In src/webprofiles/__init__.py I have
def match(string)
Now how can I make a call to this match from `src/python.py, which contains
from webprofiles import *
for x in text
a= webprofiles.match(x)
Its giving me an error
NameError: global name 'webprofiles' is not defined
When you use from import form, you must call function without module prefix. just call the functions and attributes via their names.
from webprofiles import *
for x in text:
a= match(x)
but i suggest to DO NOT use wildcard('*') imports. use this instead:
from webprofiles import match
for x in text:
a= match(x)
The syntax from x impoort * means that everything will be imported, in effect, into the global namespace. What you want is either import webprofiles followed by webprofiles.match or from webprofiles import * followed by a call to plain match
Just import webprofiles, not *:
import webprofiles
for x in text
a = webprofiles.match(x)
What you have there seems to me 2 files and you want to run a file which imports the methods contained in an other file:
import /webprofiles/init
init.match(x)
after modifiying your question:
import /webprofiles/__init__
__init__.match(x)
btw when you import something:
import my_file #(file.py)
my_file.quick_sort(x)
^^^^^^ you have to call myfile as you call normally an object
from my_file import *
#that is read as from my_file import everything
#so now you can use the method quick_sort() without calling my_file
quick_sort(x)
__init__.py, it's a standard file used in packages and has nothing to do with constructors.
