import class defined in same module file?

I have a module file called mymodule.py, which contains the following code:

class foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.foo = 1

class bar:
    import foo
    def __init__(self):
        self.bar = foo().foo

The __init__.py file in the same directory has 

from mymodule import foo

From a script in the same directory, I have the following code:

from mymodule import bar

When I try to run bar(), I get the error that No module named foo. How can I create an instance of foo in bar when they are defined within the same module file?

You do not need to import an object defined in the same module:

class foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.foo = 1

class bar:
    def __init__(self):
        self.bar = foo().foo

The import statement is intended for objects defined in other files only; you import the names defined in another python file into the current module.

Classes are imported with module name first. However, you don't need to import classes in mymodule from within mymodule, just use it. Meaning: remove the import foo line
