How can I import variables to other python file in Python 3.3+?

Question

I have a workspace structure like this:

folder
      file1
      file2

I want to import the variables of file1 to file 2. I am using python 3.7.6 on Anaconda Environment.

When I write in file 2

import file1

I get

Error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'file1'

I have tried to save an empty file called __init__.ipynb in the directory but it does not work.

I have tried:

from file1 import #variables

but I get this. Error

Thanks in advance.

All you need to do is `from file1 import your_function_or_class` — Nitin Prakash, Jun 03 '20 at 09:27

This should do the trick:

from file1 import YourClass # or your functions, etc.
