Can't get Python to import from a different folder
I believe you need to create a file called __init__.py in the Models directory so that python treats it as a module.
Then you can do:
from Models.user import User
You can include code in the __init__.py (for instance initialization code that a few different classes need) or leave it blank. But it must be there.
You have to create __init__.py on the Models subfolder. The file may be empty. It defines a package.
Then you can do:
from Models.user import User
Read all about it in python tutorial, here.
There is also a good article about file organization of python projects here.
u=user.User() #error on this line
Because of the lack of __init__ mentioned above, you would expect an ImportError which would make the problem clearer.
You don't get one because 'user' is also an existing module in the standard library. Your import statement grabs that one and tries to find the User class inside it; that doesn't exist and only then do you get the error.
It is generally a good idea to make your import absolute:
import Server.Models.user
to avoid this kind of ambiguity. Indeed from Python 2.7 'import user' won't look relative to the current module at all.
If you really want relative imports, you can have them explicitly in Python 2.5 and up using the somewhat ugly syntax:
from .user import User
