How do you make a instance of an external class in python

Question

If I have Main.py

import Test
test = Test()
test.test_func()

And Test.py

class Test:
    def test_func(self):
        print("success")

it throws an error 'module' object is not callable

I have spent hours trying to figure this out. If I put the class in Main.py I can get an instance of the class but I can't get it to work externally.

You need to `from Test import Test` **or** `test = Test.Test()`. Yes, you are going to have to learn Python if you want to use it. — jonrsharpe, Jan 29 '15 at 11:10

You have imported the Test module but you are constructing the module and not the inner class. Try changing it to test = Test.Test()

You need to access the class declared within module Test. Change Main.py to:

import Test
test = Test.Test()
test.test_func()

or

from Test import Test
test = Test()
test.test_func()
