NameError: name 'sim_functions' is not defined

cli.py calls upon method() in gri.py.

gri.py needs to call upon consolidate() in sim_functions.py.

cli.py:

from sim_functions import *
from gri import *

method()

gri.py:

#from sim_functions import *
from sim_functions import consolidate

def method():
    programmatic_dict = sim_functions.consolidate()  # Fails

sim_functions.py:

import multiprocessing.dummy as mp
import multiprocessing

def consolidate_programmatic(multiple):
    ...

    return programmatic_dict

Traceback:

Please let me know if there is anything else I can add to post to help further clarify.

Solution

  • I did an opsie.

    You only need to call upon the <name>.function() if it belongs to an OOP Class.

    In my case, no functions belong to any classes, so just function() suffices.
