Can't import the card class.

class Card:
    def __init__(self, word, location):
        self.card = word
        self.location = location
        self.matched = False

    def __eq__(self, other):
        return self.card == other.card

    def __str__(self):
        return self.card    
if __name__== "__main__":
    card1 = Card("egg", "A1")
    card2 = Card("egg", "B1")
    card3 = Card("hut", "D4")

When I run "from cards import Card" I get an import error. My file is named "cards.py".

Can you say more about how your are attempting to import from this file?

This file looks and executed cleanly. The issue seems to be on the actual import. Can you confirm you are in the same directory, then try importing in the REPL?

$ python 
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from cards import Card
>>>

I actually solved it, by using your clue to the path. It was an editor issue with Visual Studio Code. I created a new workspace and folder(project) and dropped cards.py and games.py into the new folder(project). I was able to run the code cleanly in the terminal, after that.
