I don't understand. I have a class in one python file called "example.py" and in another python file in the same folder on my desktop, i'm running "from example import *"

and i'm trying to use the class but it gives me an error that the example module doesn't exist, or that the class that i'm using is undefined

Not sure how all these dependencies work...

I'm very new to this so please help me, it's holding me back a lot.

NameError: name 'TheClassName' is not defined

Your question reminds me of myself when I was pretty new to Python.

So let's start by some basic guides.

Python's reference guide on Imports and modules

How To Import Modules in Python 3

But to make long story short, I think adding a dot will fix your problem.

from .example import myclass
