'import module1' adds the name 'module1' to your namespace;
so, the name 'module2' is still unknown in your namespace.

In the above example, you have to write:

    thisClass = module1.module2()

Alternatively, you might prefer the following:

    from module1 import module2

    thisClass = module2()

If you want to import more than just one class, the following
syntax will do this:

    from module1 import module2, module3, module4

By the way: your naming conventions (module1 for the file and
module2 for the class) are not really intuitive :-)
