How to import your own modules into Python?

So I've made my own set of functions, but I don't want to keep them in one bug project. I find it messy. I put in my .py file (Let's call it func.py for now). But when I try to use func.py, I get this error:

C:\Users\Swaggy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\python.exe C:/Users/Swaggy/PycharmProjects/ChatRooms/Court.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Swaggy/PycharmProjects/ChatRooms/Court.py", line 1, in <module>
    from court_functions import *
ImportError: No module named 'court_functions'

Any help would be great!

Your code looks fine.

  • Make sure your module is in the same folder/directory.
  • Make the name of the file (excluding the .py part) is the same as the name you are using to import the file.

If you are still experiencing errors, please reply :)
