I am trying to call a Python object inside a Python file, which I will call A.py, from another Python file which I will call B.py.

Inside B, I import that object like:

from .A import Object

It gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "B.py", line 1, in from .A import Object ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '__ main__ .A'; '__ main__' is not a package

I do not understand why it gives me an error. My code is written in Python 3.

Any suggestions? I do not understand other posts around object instances in Python.

remove `.` from ocde – sahasrara62 Mar 20 '20 at 16:24
PyCharm says it is an error if I remove the point. Both files are in the same directory. – Enrique González Mar 20 '20 at 16:43
Check if `__init__.py` file exists on the directory of A.py – ontananza Mar 20 '20 at 16:44
I do not have any file like that, why should I have an __init__.py? – Enrique González Mar 20 '20 at 16:49
@EnriqueGonzález What is the error when you remove `.`? – ywbaek Mar 20 '20 at 16:52

@EnriqueGonzález use `from A import object` don;t g for error which ide is showing you, just run and see if you are getting error – sahasrara62 Mar 20 '20 at 17:28
I worked guys, thank you all! It was a Pycharm syntax error as you said, but it works when I run it on terminal – Enrique González Mar 22 '20 at 01:00
