Any python coders out there? I am having problems with my own modules. (I'm trying to code a python/pygame gui.)

Basically I have a gfx class which stores all the graphics, which is in it's own seperate module. Next I have the window widget classes, in another module, which need to be able to access those graphics. The trouble is, I create the instance of the gfx class in my main .py file, and then need to use this in the seperate modules - which python doesn't let me do

If I write all the modules out in a single text file, the code works. When it gets broken into modules, I get problems. Am I missing something obvious, or is there a neat solution?

Everything in python breaks down into objects. You can use that to pass objects between modules etc., and you may want to import modules from modules.
It sounds like your widget module wants to import from your graphics module. difficult to say without some example code

Code example:

In main.py:

Are the graphics going to be persistent ? Ar eyou always going to use the same graphics with this module? You could set up some static objects in the module.

But usually, the answer would be to have the main.py initiate the class and pass the relevant item to other functions:
