Python doesn't care abpout the foldrs it only cares about the modules. They are in different modules therefore you need to import the other module. But importing the module just makes the module name available inside your module. To make the contents of the module available you must reference the module. Modules are first class objects in Python they are not simply files (although they are implemented as simple files!) You might think of the module as being like a class that you can't instantiate if you like. Alternarively you can use the other form of import: from Module import Name In your cae that would be from AddrBookEntry import AddrBookEntry Now when you use AddrBookentry it refers to the named object inside the AddrBookEntry module.
