Have you create a file name as `__init__.py` on the same directory? — Frank AK, Feb 02 '18 at 06:12
`site.py` is a bad name for a file, because there's a [python initialization thingy](https://docs.python.org/3/library/site.html) that's already using that name. — user2357112, Feb 02 '18 at 06:15

Create __init__.py [this way you declare that the directory is a package] file in directory, models. After that, in your main.py file, write from site import *, this will import every functions into main's scope. However, you can choose to publish/get only required functions form site. In such case. use from site import <function_name>. So, your main.py should look like

from site import *
from_site = site() #getting into local namespace.
from_site.site() #this is a function in site, and calling it in main.
