Importing functions from another python file

Question

my_main_file.py:

from bfile import bfunc
def fna():
  bfunc(sth)

if __name__ == "__main__":
  fna()

bfile.py:

def bfunc(sth):
  #bla bla..

Error:

name 'bfunc' is not defined

Both files are under same directory

Are you running in that directory? Is `.` in your PYTHONPATH, or alternatively in `sys.path`? — Mad Physicist, May 26 '18 at 04:32
sys.path doesn't contain current directory, PYTHONPATH is blank — ishandutta2007, May 26 '18 at 04:34

Add __init__.py python file to your current working directory.So python will treat directory as containing package.You can see documentation here
