Hello, i have to split my code into parts so i split a dragimage demo from the wx demo package which is this code:

import  wx
import  images

#----------------------------------------------------------------------

class DragShape:
    def __init__(self, bmp):
        self.bmp = bmp

        self.fullscreen = False

    def HitTest(self, pt):
        rect = self.GetRect()
        return rect.InsideXY(pt.x, pt.y)

    def GetRect(self):
        return wx.Rect(self.pos[0], self.pos[1],

    def Draw(self, dc, op = wx.COPY):

overview = """\
DragImage is used when you wish to drag an object on the screen, and a simple 
cursor is not enough.

On Windows, the WIN32 API is used to do achieve smooth dragging. On other 
platforms, <code>GenericDragImage</code> is used. Applications may also prefer to use 
<code>GenericDragImage</code> on Windows, too.

<b>wxPython note</b>: wxPython uses <code>GenericDragImage</code> on all 
platforms, but uses the <code>DragImage</code> name.

To use this class, when you wish to start dragging an image, create a 
<code>DragImage</code> object and store it somewhere you can access it as the 
drag progresses. Call BeginDrag to start, and EndDrag to stop the drag. To move 
the image, initially call Show and then Move. If you wish to update the screen 
contents during the drag (for example, highlight an item as in the example), first 
call Hide, update the screen, call Move, and then call Show.

You can drag within one window, or you can use full-screen dragging either across 
the whole screen, or just restricted to one area of the screen to save resources. 
If you want the user to drag between two windows, then you will need to use 
full-screen dragging.

I want to import this code into another python file and run it, along side my existing window.... thanks

Keep all of the files you need in one repository and then in the file that you want the above information you would say from filename import *
