try  from sqlitedbx import SqliteDBzz

You need to do   import sqlitedbx  def main        db   sqlitedbx SqliteDBzz       db connect    if   name         main         main

That s How Python works  Try this    from sqlitedbx import SqliteDBzz   Such that you can directly use the name without the enclosing module Or just import the module and prepend  sqlitedbx   to your function class etc

Importing the namespace is somewhat cleaner  Imagine you have two different modules you import  both of them with the same method class  Some bad stuff might happen  I d dare say it is usually good practice to use   import module   over  from module import function class
