I have a moveslist.py file with function movesSelection and a main.py file. Within my main.py, I've made sure that my variables are set to global and I had another function makeNewChar. Within makeNewChar, I'm trying to call movesSelection but I get "NameError: name 'movesSelection' is not defined.

Since my moveslist.py uses some global variables from main, I imported main into the file. For my main.py, I did from moveslist import *. I also tried import movesList and from moveslist import movesSelection. All of those threw back errors.

How can I use movesSelection within my main.py?

There may be a few different reasons but some of the most common are having a file with the same name or likely the file you are looking for is in another directory so i will show you my correct here

##Include file extension and move the file with the folder in the correct space
import movesSelection.py

Add "from moveslist import movesSelection" into makeNewChar.
You do not have to add the .py suffix when you import.
