POImporting classes from different files in a subdirectory

copied!<p>Here's the structure I'm working with:</p> <pre><code>directory/ script.py subdir/ __init__.py myclass01.py myclass02.py </code></pre> <p>What I want to do is import in script.py the classes defined in <code>myclass01.py</code> and <code>myclass02.py</code>. If I do:</p> <pre><code>from subdir.myclass01 import * </code></pre> <p>It works fine for the class defined in <code>myclass01.py</code>. But with this solution if there are many classes defined in different files in <code>subdir</code> and I want to import all of them, I'd have to type one line for each file. There must be a shortcut for this. I tried:</p> <pre><code>from subdir.* import * </code></pre> <p>But it didn't work out.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: here are the contents of the files:</p> <p>This is <code>__init__.py</code> (using <code>__all__</code> as Apalala suggested):</p> <pre><code>__all__ = ['MyClass01','MyClass02'] </code></pre> <p>This is <code>myclass01.py</code>:</p> <pre><code>class MyClass01: def printsomething(): print 'hey' </code></pre> <p>This is <code>myclass02.py</code>:</p> <pre><code>class MyClass02: def printsomething(): print 'sup' </code></pre> <p>This is <code>script.py</code>:</p> <pre><code>from subdir import * MyClass01().printsomething() MyClass02().printsomething() </code></pre> <p>This is the traceback that I get when I try to run <code>script.py</code>:</p> <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>File "script.py", line 1, in <module> from subdir import * AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'MyClass01' </code></pre>
