How can I properly load a Python class in my project?

Question

My older structure is:

In a file, I'm doing:

from CodeModel import CodeModel codemodel = CodeModel.CodeModel()

But that seems redundant. Is there a cleaner way to import CodeModel without having to do CodeModel.CodeModel()?

Or put from .CodeModel import CodeModel in your __init__.py. Then from CodeModel import CodeModel from outside the package will import the class. (You should probably give the packages, modules, and classes different names though, or it quickly becomes very confusing) — Patrick Haugh

Why is CodeModel.py even in a package called CodeModel? There seems to be nothing else in it. Just remove that package. — mkrieger1

I'm not sure what you mean @mkrieger1. I want to create a class called CodeModel — Shamoon

from CodeModel.CodeModel import CodeModel

but you should think of different packages&modules structure because it may indeed be redundant.

If you have multiple (but not really many) models, think of creating modules.py with CodeModel and other model classes. Simplify things if possible (adequatly to project's size).

from models import CodeModel

seems better, doesn't it?

Another option would be

from .CodeModel import CodeModel

inside __init__.py of CodeModel package, already mentioned in the comment by Patrick Haugh.
