I would be very grateful if someone could help explain the reason why I'm struggling with the importing of modules...
I'm using Pythonista to learn OOP and I'm working through a tutorial which centres around the creation of a roulette simulator.
The tutorial emphasis the use of unit testing.
Here is my unit test code which is causing me the problem:
import unittest
from outcome import Outcome
from wheel import Wheel
from non_random import NonRandom
class WheelBuilderTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.five = Outcome("00-0-1-2-3", 6)
self.zero = Outcome("0", 35)
self.zerozero = Outcome("00", 35)
rng = NonRandom(0, 1)
rng.set_seed(5);
self.wheel = Wheel(rng)
def testWheelConstruction(self):
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
Here is the outcome module:
class Outcome (object):
def __init__(self, name, odds):
self.name = name
self.odds = odds
def winAmount(self, amount):
return ( self.odds * amount )
def __eq__(self, other):
return ( self.name == other.name )
def __ne__(self, other):
return not self.__eq__(other)
def __str__(self):
return "%s (%d:1)" % ( self.name, self.odds )
Here is the bin module:
class Bin (object):
def __init__(self, *outcomes):
self.outcomes = frozenset(outcomes)
def add(self, outcome):
self.outcomes |= set( [outcome] )
def __str__(self):
return ', '.join( map(str, self.outcomes) )
and here is the wheel module:
from bin import Bin
class Wheel (object):
def __init__(self, rng):
self.rng = rng
self.bins = tuple(Bin() for i in range(38))
def addOutcome(self, number, outcome):
self.bins[number].add(outcome)
def next(self):
return rng.choice(self.bins)
def get(self, bin):
return self.bins[bin]
However when I run the unit test wheel_test.py I get the following error:
E
======================================================================
ERROR: testWheelConstruction (__main__.WheelBuilderTestCase)

self.rng = rng
NameError: global name 'Bin' is not defined

EXIT (1)
It appears that the Bin class isn't defined in the WheelBuilderTestCase even though I imported the Wheel class from the wheel module which does include the import of the Bin class via the bin module.
The bizarre thing is that this works fine in IDLE.
Any thoughts..?
