Python API no attribute Session

Following the querybind example I impoort the BaseXClient and then need to connect the session

# create session session = BaseXClient.Session('localhost', 1984, 'admin', 'admin')

When I attempt to connect the session error returned that BaseXClient has no attribute Session

session = BaseXClient.Session(‘localhost’, 1984, ‘admin’, ‘admin’)

AttributeErrorTraceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-272a3e1022b0> in <module>()
----> 1 session = BaseXClient.Session('localhost', 1984, 'admin', 'admin')

AttributeError: module 'BaseXClient' has no attribute 'Session'

@MortalCatalyst try to use following import statement:

from BaseXClient import BaseXClient

Part of the confusion is if you pip install BaseXClient you have a package called BaseXClient with a module inside it called BaseXClient. If you’re inside the source tree import BaseXClient is importing the module (in the file BaseXClient.py) not the package.

One way to solve the problem would be to move BaseXClient.py into a BaseXClient directory (with a __init__.py in it to make it a package. That way, from the directory with the examples, import BaseXClient would import the package, just like it does when pip install.
