You can't import a .cdxml file - it is simply XML text, not a Python
class. It is converted to a class when you need it.
You will have to reference the file using standard pathing; e.g.,
"ui/MyForm.cdxml". You pass that path to one of the UI functions that handle
cdxml files: dabo.ui.createForm(), and dabo.ui.createClass(). The former
returns an instantiated form object; the latter returns a class object that you
can instantiate when you want.
Let me know if that helps, and if you have any other questions.
