class calls? please help

i put in a statusbar.py file this code

class StatusBar(Frame):

def __init__(self, master):
Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.label = Label(self, bd=1, relief=SUNKEN, anchor=W)
self.label.pack(fill=X)

def set(self, format, *args):
self.label.config(text=format % args)
self.label.update_idletasks()

def clear(self):
self.label.config(text="")
self.label.update_idletasks()

and i want from another showbar.py file to call the StatusBar class function. i am writing this

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

status = StatusBar(root)
status.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

mainloop()

but i get an error saying

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python23\showbar.py", line 6, in ?
status = StatusBar(root)
NameError: name 'StatusBar' is not defined

help! please

Just add import statusbar to the top of you're file and you should be away. Im assuming that statusbar.py is in the same directory as you're program or is otherwise visable to Python - on Pythons search path (PYTHONPATH) i.e. site-packages

you will then need to preceed the call to StatusBar() with the name of the module you are using. So you end up with:



Hope this helps,

Mark.
