I am trying to import variables from a second python file however when running it in cmd it doesn`t recognise the variable names used in the second file. All files are in the same directory

main.py:

import curses
from curses import wrapper

from settings import *

def main(stdscr):
    curses.init_pair(1, curses.COLOR_BLUE, curses.COLOR_RED)
    stdscr.clear()
    stdscr.refresh()
    stdscr.addstr('Hello', curses.color_pair(BLUE_AND_RED))
    stdscr.getch()

wrapper(main)

settings.py:

BLUE_AND_RED = 1

Exact Error:

File "C:UsersJaDesktopcodingcursesmain.py", line 13, in <module>
    wrapper(main)
  File "C:UsersJaAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython312Libcurses__init__.py", line 94, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:UsersJaDesktopcodingcursesmain.py", line 10, in main
    stdscr.addstr('Hello', curses.color_pair(BLUE_AND_RED))
                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^
NameError: name 'BLUE_AND_RED' is not defined

I have read somewhere to add a empty init.py file to the directory in order to make python recognise it as a package but that has failed too.
