[Baypiggies] Fwd: A beginner's question on python class

[Yiou Li]

Thanks for the reply to my "imcompleted" question.

Actually my question was:

I created a python class by inheriting from and existing class and use
this new class in my main script as below:

My question is, since I import a function "sample" from the library
"random" in myClass, do I have to import "sample" in my main script as
well?

--- I did a debugging experiment using the following code to see that
the library "random" was imported at myClassInstance.myFunction(),
therefore, the answer to my question is -- I don't have to import the
"random" library in the main script. And the import statement is just
like a #include statement in C.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Best and thanks to your replies!!
Leo

myMainScript.py

     myClassInstance = myClass()

     myClassInstance.myFunction()


if __name__ == '__main__':
     main()
