Here is my main code:

"""File that starts the game"""
import Classes
import Functions
#Space for imports

PlayerRace = input("What race are you? ")
PlayerName = input("What is your name? ")

Player = Character(PlayerName, PlayerRace, 25, 1)

This imports this code with the class in it:

"""File with all classes"""
import Variables

class Inventory(object):
  
  def __init__(self, name, size):
    self.name = name
    self.size = size
  
  contents = {}
  
  def add_item(self, item, inventory):
    inventory.append(item)
    addedtext = item + " recieved!"
    print addedtext
  
  def remove_item(self, item, inventory):
    if item in inventory:
      inventory.remove(item)
      removeitem = item + " removed!"
      print removeitem

class Organism(object):
  
  def __init__(self, name, species, extra_health, extra_damage):
    self.name = name
    self.species = species
    self.health = 25 + extra_health
    self.damage = 1 + extra_damage
  
  isdead = False
  
  def dead(self, name, health):
    if self.health <= 0:
      isdead = True
      return True
    elif self.health > 0:
      isdead = False
      return False

class Enemy(Organism):
  
  def __init__(self, name, species, extra_health, extra_damage):
    self.name = name
    self.species = species
    self.health = 25 + extra_health
    self.damage = 1 + extra_damage

class Character(Organism):
  
  def __init__(self, name, species, extra_health, extra_damage):
    self.name = name
    self.species = species
    self.health = 25
    self.damage = 1 + extra_damage
  
  MaxHealth = 50

The error I get is this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ubuntu/workspace/python/Main.py", line 9, in <module>
Player = Character(PlayerName, PlayerRace, 25, 1)
NameError: name 'Character' is not defined

So can someone tell what went wrong and what to do to solve this problem?

import Classes makes the classes available, but you still need to reference the module:

Player = Classes.Character(PlayerName, PlayerRace, 25, 1)

Alternatively, you can use:

from Classes import *

or

from Classes import Inventory, Organism, Enemy, Character

from Classes import *

That works thank you so much!!!!

[andrewsw]

You're welcome.

Bear in mind that using * to import everything should be used sparingly; it's okay with your Classes as there are only four imports.

An exception would be for a GUI, e.g. from tkinter import *, where it is sensible/convenient to load everything.
