Error in importing a python file - python

I've written a python file and am trying to import it but it's not recognized.
The file was saved as gentleboost_c_class.c in C:\User\apps\My documents.
I tried to import it like this:
import gentleboost_c_class as gbc
But I get this error:
NameError: name 'gentleboost_c_class' is not defined
gentleboost_c_class.py begins like this:
from sklearn.externals.six.moves import zip
import numpy as np
import statsmodels.api as sm
class GentleBoostC:
.....
It compiles fine.
Both files are in the same folder.
What am I doing wrong?

You're getting a NameError, not an ImportError.
So it seems to me that you import your module as gbc, but later try to refer to it as gentleboost_c_class.
If you import the module with
import gentleboost_c_class as gbc
that means it will be available under the global name gbc, but not as gentleboost_c_class.

ModuleNotFoundError while importing from alias

e.g.
import os as my_os
import my_os.path
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_os'
but the following script is ok
import os
import os.path
You can't do that in Python.
import statements are importing from Python file names.
You aren't renaming the file of os to my_os, therefore this wouldn't work.
As mentioned in the documentation:
The import statement combines two operations; it searches for the named module, then it binds the results of that search to a name in the local scope.
Tried the similar way as os.py did:
import json as my_json
from my_json.decoder import * # ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_json'
import sys
import json.decoder as my_decoder
sys.modules['my_json.decoder'] = my_decoder
from my_json.decoder import * # it's ok now

ImportError: cannot import name as_cuda_ndarray_variable

While I am trying to call as_cuda_ndarray_variable function from from theano.sandbox.cuda that is wrote on separate basic_ops.pypython file that is called inside the init.py file. My python-2.7.16 andtheano-0.9.0.
from theano.sandbox.cuda import as_cuda_ndarray_variable
ImportError: cannot import name as_cuda_ndarray_variable
Maybe you can try this:
from theano.sandbox.cuda import * as cuda_ndarray_variable
or
import theano.sandbox.cuda as cuda_ndarray_variable
It appears that the function as_cuda_ndarray_variable is not defined directly within the theano.sandbox.cuda module. Try this instead:
from theano.sandbox.cuda import basic_ops
basic_ops.as_cuda_ndarray_variable(1.0)

Python import class from other files

I have three files under the same directory, namely, main.py, Newtester.py, and fileUtility.py. In Newtester.py there is a class named Function. In main.py, there are the following codes:
from file.py import *
...
def main():
...
funcs = parseFuncSpec(funcInputFile)
parseFuncSpec is defined in fileUtilities.py as:
some code to import Newtester.py
def parseFuncSpec(fName):
curFunc = function(funcName, numTest, [], score)
Regardless of what I put in import Newtester.py, I always get an error saying "Function" (the class defined in the file "Newtester.py") is not defined. Following Python: How to import other Python files, I have attempted
import Newtester
__import__("Newtester")
exec("Newtester.py")
exec("Newtester")
import importlib
importlib.__import__("Newtester")
os.system("Newtester.py")
But none of them seemed to work. Any advice is appreciated. See https://github.com/r2dong/unitTesting if you are interested in seeing the complete files.
It's because you are not using it correctly
well when you use import statement like below only Newstester file is imported
import Newtester
hence instead of using parseFuncSpec() directly you have to use it as Newtester.parseFuncSpec()
or to use parseFuncSpec() directly you need to use below import statement:
from Newtester import parseFuncSpec

Cannot import name line_search_wolfe2

I get this error when I try to run a program that uses SciPy 0.7.2.
from scipy.optimize.linesearch import line_search_wolfe2, line_search_wolfe1
ImportError: cannot import name line_search_wolfe2
Why does that happen?

ImportError when attempting to mock a module

I have a module that I am testing that depends on another module that won't be available at the time of testing. To get around this, I wrote (essentially):
import mock
import sys
sys.modules['parent_module.unavailable_module'] = mock.MagicMock()
import module_under_test
This works fine as long as module_under_test is doing one of the following import parent_module, import parent_module.unavailable_module. However, the following code generates a traceback:
>>> from parent_module import unavailable_module
ImportError: cannot import name unavailable_module
What's up with this? What can I do in my test code (without changing the import statement) to avoid this error?
Alright, I think I've figured it out. It appears that in the statement:
from parent_module import unavailable_module
Python looks for an attribute of parent_module called unavailable_module. Therefore, the following set up code fully replaces unavailable_module within parent_module:
import mock
import sys
fake_module = mock.MagicMock()
sys.modules['parent_module.unavailable_module'] = fake_module
setattr(parent_module, 'unavailable_module', fake_module)
I tested the four import idioms of which I am aware:
import parent_module
import parent_module.unavailable_module
import parent_module.unavailable_module as unavailabe_module
from parent_module import unavailable_module
and each worked with the above set up code.
