Cannot use the class accessed from another file in same directory in python

Question

I defined a class in try.py

try.py

class student:
    def __init__(self, name, major, gpa, is_on_probation):
        self.name = name
        self.major = major
        self.gpa = gpa
        self.is_on_probation = is_on_probation

Now i created new file in same directory. class.py

class.py

from try import student

student1 = student("Jimmy", "Business", 3.1, False)
print(student1.name)

Output

C:\Users\User\PycharmProjects\test\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/User/PycharmProjects/test/try.py

Process finished with exit code 0

PROBLEM

The print statement does not produce any result. I'm new to both python and stack overflow. I searched and couldn't find a solution. So I'm posting this.

try and class are reserved keyword, thus it will result in a syntax error. Please rename try.py and class.py to a different name to avoid this issue. Also, running what you currently named as try.py produce no output because it only defined a class student and immediately exit. — metatoaster

You're not running the program that prints things. You're running try.py as a script. You need to run class.py (and you also need to pick better file names, because you've picked two names that are both keywords, preventing use of import).
