Import one class in another within same folder

I have a folder named 'container' which have two classes:

  1. VisitorPage.py
  2. TestMethods.py
  3. __init__.py

I want to import 'VisitorPage' in TestMethods class so I can use its methods.

I have tried following, but not succeeded yet. 

from .containers import VisitorPage

Error: 

from .containers import VisitorPage
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tests.containers.containers'

Second scenario:

from containers import VisitorPage

Error

from containers import VisitorPage
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'containers'

Scenario 3:

import containers.VisitorPage

Error:

import containers.VisitorPage
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'containers'

Can someone please let me know the correct way to do it. Thanks

The error is telling you the problem. Both VisitorPage and TestMethods are in the folder containers. Using . refers to the current module. Using .containers means you are searching for a module containers within containers.

My guess is your project structure is

containers/
|- VisitorPage.py
|- TestMethods.py

If that is the case, then inside TestMethods.py, just

import VisitorPage

Otherwise, you need to put containers in a directory so that your directory structure is

project/    
    |-containers/
         |- VisitorPage.py
         |- TestMethods.py

where project is the root directory.

So inside TestMethods.py, you import VisitorPage using relative import 

from . import VisitorPage

or if you want to use absolute import

from containers import VisitorPage
