I am fairly new to coding and Python and I’m facing an issue with importing a class from one Python file to another. The files employee_1.py and company_1.py are in the same directory, but I keep getting an ImportError. Here are the details:

Directory Structure:
C:UserstrandOneDriveDesktopPython CourseClass and object1
│
├── employee.py
└── company.py

Content of employee_1.py:

print("Executing employee.py")

class Employees:
    def __init__(self, fname, lname, salary):
        self.fname = fname
        self.lname = lname
        self.salary = salary

    def calculate_paycheck(self):
        return self.salary/52

Content of company_1.py

from employee import Employees

class Company: 
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.employees = []

    def add_employee(self, new_employee):
        self.employees.append(new_employee)
    
    def display_employees(self):
        print("Current Employees:")
        for i in self.employees:
            print(i.name, i.lname)
        print("___________________")
    

def main():
    my_company = Company()

    employee1 = Employees("Sarah", "Holder", "50000") 
    my_company.add_employee(employee1)
    employee2 = Employees("Sam", "Taylor", "244000")
    my_company.add_employee(employee2)
    employee3 = Employees("Danny", "Hans", "20000")
    my_company.add_employee(employee3)

    my_company.display_employees 

main()

When I run company_1.py, I get the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Employee’ from ’employee_1′ (c:UserstrandOneDriveDesktop)

I have also done the following:

• Verified Directory Structure so both employee_1.py and company_1.py are in the same directory.

• Cleared Bytecode Files: Removed any pycache directories to ensure no stale bytecode is causing issues.

• Correct Import Statement: Ensured that company_1.py is correctly importing Employee from employee_1.

Would really appreciate any help from you guys!
