Django: Views.py needs to access Class and Function in another python file

in my helper.py I have a class and a function definition:

class Suites():
    NAME_SUITE = ['NATE', 'TOM', 'TED', 'JAN', 'SAM']

def check_suite(name, suite):
    my_suite = Suites[suite] #I want my_suite to = ['NATE', 'TOM', 'TED', 'JAN', 'SAM']
    return name in suite #I want to return True or False

and in views.py I'm trying to find out that user_in_suite is True

 from .helper import check_suite
 from .helper import Suites

 def apps(request):
    user_name = 'NATE'
    suite_to_check = 'NAME_SUITE'
    user_in_suite = check_suite(name=user_name, suite=suite_to_check)

But I'm getting an error for helper.py: 'classobj' object has no attribute '__getitem__

def check_suite(name, suite):
    my_suite = Suites.__dict__[suite] # __dict__ gives you access to the dictionary of class.
    return name in my_suite

This should solve your problem.
