Trouble importing a Python module

Question

I have a Python project with 2 files: epic.py site.py

in the epic.py I have the lines

from site import *
bark()

in site.py I have the lines

def bark():
    print('arf!')

when I try to run epic.py, it returns "bark is not defined"
this is weird.

Answer 1

That's because site is also the name of a built-in module. You weren't really importing your custom site module. If you change the name to, say, site_.py and import accordingly, it'll work.

Answer 2

Try renaming site.py to mysite.py or something like that because there is a standard Python site module.
