Hello TreeHouse Students,
im asking myself why i cant import The Thief class. Normally im using Sublime to follow along the tasks but since ive got no idea how to import an class in sublime changed to Workspace. But i keep getting the import Error. I would be glad if someone could tell me what im doing wrong and how i can import an class in sublime. Thanks
code i wrote: class Thief: pass
then in the workspace console: run python then: from characters import Thief

- is the code in a file named "characters.py"?
- did you remember to save using the key shortcut or the menu?
if that's not it, you can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
