NameError: name is not defined /u/TheTechLeaf Python Education

I wrote a module that uses several of the same imports across multiple files. As a result, I created an imports.py file.

I thought I could just write from common.imports import * in each applicable file, but this creates a NameError. Here’s the information I’ve gathered so far:

• The module in question is requests. It’s installed in both the module’s virtual environment and (in case it matters) the environment of the py file importing my module.
• In imports.py, I tried listing it in the __all__attribute – no luck.
• After from common.imports import * I verified whether they were listed under sys.modules, which they weren’t.
• Importing specifically requests creates an ImportError, even with using __all__.
• Attempting from common import imports creates an AttributeError.

Let me know if there’s anything I missed, or if I need to provide more information.
