I am developing a Python App Engine app, where I want to split the content of a source code file Models.py
into separate files for each model, but I want to put it all in a folder called Models. The problem is that when I do that, my app can't find the classes anymore. What should I do?
This question is not about MVC but another question with the same title is.
Put an empty __init__.py
file in the Models directory.
Then, in your app; presumably one level up, you reference modules in the Models directory like this:
import Models
and do something with it like this:
Models.my_model.MyClassName
You can also use the from
keyword like this:
from Models import my_model
and reference like this:
my_model.MyClassName
If you only need one method from a module, you could also do this:
from Models.my_model import my_method_name
my_method_name()
