Sorry, sent the message by mistake.

Anyway if you just want a nice way to create an instance, you may simply write

import steamapi.user.SteamUser as User

usr = User('whatever')

However you don't create an APIConnection when creating a user, it does not make much sense, you only need one API connection per session and it will be shared by all the User objects.

# Note ApiConnection is a singleton, and you only need to execute this once, in you app/script initialization for instance.
api = APIConnection(api_key='dlkfnsdlfn')

# query the database
user1 = User('user1')
user2 = User('user2')

Cheers,

JM


NB: I assumed you were using https://github.com/smiley/steamapi
NB2 : because APIConnection is a singleton, your original code probably works just fine, I'm just not a big fan of breaking to python module design
