In a project I'm working on, I'm separating a lot of bigger files into smaller pieces so they're easier to work with. One specific example is creating class based views from function based views in Django:
# app/views/LoginView.py
class LoginView(View):
...
# urls.py
from app.views import LoginView
urlpatterns = [
# Here, I have to use LoginView twice
url(r'^login', LoginView.LoginView.as_view())
]
Above, I have to use LoginView twice when I want to call it, since importing LoginView imports the module, and not the method from the module, even though they are the same name. Ideally, I'd like to avoid having to call LoginView.LoginView each time.
In Javascript, I can just say export default function my_function() { ... } without naming it, and when it's imported it's default, e.g import my_function from './some_module.js';
Is there any way to do something like this in Python 3?
