Function not defined error while using import

Question

I created two files in python First one is mym.py

def hello():
    print("Hello everyone")
    return
def summ(x,y):
    total=x+y
    return total

and next one is abc.py

import mym

hello()
x=summ(3,4)
print(x)

And the error msg which I am getting is...both the files are in same working directory and there is no error of module not found...its giving error of function not defined.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Nisha/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/abc.py", line 3, in <module>
    hello()
NameError: name 'hello' is not defined

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Nisha/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/abc.py", line 3, in <module>
    x=summ(3,4)
NameError: name 'summ' is not defined

What is the problem in function definition I am unable to trace...

In this case, you need to prefix the name of the module on the function, so using mym.summ — AlBlue

The abc.py needs to be changed to:

from mym import *

hello()
x=summ(3,4)
print(x)

Otherwise you cannot access the functions.

You can try like this:

    import mym
    mym.hello()
    x = mym.summ(3,4)
    print(x)
