PeeWee model has no 'select' attribute error

Question

I'm in the process of creating an application for a personal project I'm working on that involves Python 3, peewee, and (for the moment) Sqlite3. In main, I'm importing a 2 model classes (student and course) which are subclasses of a basemodel class I create.

The import statements located in main.py:

from models.course import Course
from models.student import Student

The models/BaseModel.py

from peewee import *

db = SqliteDatabase('database/attendance.db')


class BaseModel:

    class Meta:
        database = db

The models/course.py

from peewee import *
from models.basemodel import BaseModel


class Course(BaseModel):
    cid = PrimaryKeyField()
    title = TextField()
    active = BooleanField()

    class Meta:
        table_name = 'courses'

When I try to do a simply query to retrieve courses, I receive an error message.

Example query:

active_courses = Course.select().where(Course.active == True)

The error message I receive is:

AttributeError: type object 'Course' has no attribute 'select'

Your BaseModel class needs to extend peewee.Model:

class BaseModel(peewee.Model):
    ...
