Import class from file of the same name

I often do this:

└─ mymodule
  ├─__init__.py
  ├─ MyClass1.py
  ...
  └─ MyClass2.py

And each file contains a single class, named accordingly MyClass1, MyClass2.

I know, I know, not pythonic of me, but I believe that convention should not limit my possibilities.

But, I encounter problems that I can not solve on my own - python import rules defy my logic.

Could you please help me, if not understand, but at least to have a way to do what I want. I want to compose my __init__.py so, that "mymodule" behaves as if all classes were in one file "mymodule.py".

I.e. from outside file, I want to be able to do:

from mymodule import MyClass1

And it would give me the class, and not the module, without having to do MyClass1.MyClass1.

Is there a way to do this in Python?

In __init__.py:

from .MyClass1 import MyClass1
from .MyClass2 import MyClass2

Then you can use your import:

from mymodule import MyClass1
