In order to use "from my_monster import Monster", you need the following:

  • the file my_monster.py must be in the same directory as the file using this import, or located on the module search path
  • In the file my_monster.py there must be an object called "Monster"

Does your situation match this or do you have something different?

If you are still having problems, please post your my_monster.py file and the file in which you are using the import statement.
