python: Two modules and classes with the same name under different packages

You want to import the User modules in the package __init__.py files to make them available as attributes.

So in both Helper/__init_.py and Controller/__init__.py add:

from . import User

This makes the module an attribute of the package and you can now refer to it as such.

Alternatively, you'd have to import the modules themselves in full:

import ShutterDeck.Controller.Userimport ShutterDeck.Helper.Useru1=ShutterDeck.Controller.User.User()u2=ShutterDeck.Helper.User.User()

so refer to them with their full names.

Another option is to rename the imported name with as:

from ShutterDeck.Controller import User as ControllerUserfrom ShutterDeck.Helper import User as HelperUseru1 = ControllerUser.User()u2 = HelperUser.User()

One way is just:

import ShutterDeck.Controller.Userimport ShutterDeck.Helper.Usercuser = ShutterDeck.Controller.User.User()huser = ShutterDeck.Helper.User.User()

You can also do this:

from ShutterDeck.Controller.User import User as ControllerUserfrom ShutterDeck.Helper.User import User as HelperUser

This might also help (struggled with similar problem today):

ShutterDeck├── Controller│   ├── __init__.py│   └── User.py├── Helper│   ├── __init__.py│   └── User.py└── __init__.py

in ShutterDeck/{Controller,Helper}/__init__.py:

from .User import User

And then:

>>> import ShutterDeck.Helper>>> helperUser = ShutterDeck.Helper.User()>>> helperUser<ShutterDeck.Helper.User.User object at 0x1669b90>>>> import ShutterDeck.Controller>>> controllerUser = ShutterDeck.Controller.User()>>> controllerUser<ShutterDeck.Controller.User.User object at 0x1669c90>
