Why I can´t import a class in python?

Question

This is my folder structure:

├── Basic
├── Coche
│   ├── __init.py__
│   ├── coche.py
├── miPrimerCoche.py

I want to import the class "coche.py" in miPrimerCoche. In coche.py I have this:

class Coche:

    def __init__(self, marca, color, caballos):
        self.marca = marca
        self.color = color
        self.caballos = caballos

    def datos(self):
        return "Este coche es un: " + self.marca + \
           " de color: " + self.color + " y con: " + str(self.caballos)    + " caballos"

And, in miPrimerCoche I have this code:

from Coche import coche

miMercedes = coche("Toyota", "verde", 50)
print miMercedes.marca
print miMercedes.datos()

Then, when I run miPrimerCoche, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File     "/Users/personalUser/PycharmProjects/untitled/Basic/importar_clase.py",    line 3, in <module>
    miMercedes = coche("Toyota", "verde", 50)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Basic is the src folder (it is in blue color), what I can do?

I resolved with

  miMercedes = coche.Coche(par1, par2, par3...)

but I don´t know if is the good way to do it.

My import is in the first line of "miPrimerCoche", I call the folder (Coche), and from the folder I call the class. It is not good? — BigBugCreator, Oct 22 '15 at 07:08

From the point of view of miPrimerCoche.py:

Coche is a module (the folder Coche)
Coche.coche is a submodule (the file coche.py)
Choche.coche.Coche is the class Coche in the submodule Coche.coche

So you actually want:

from Coche.coche import Coche

The coche you're importing is just the (sub) module, as the error points out.
