How to inherit step definitions between steps files, Python Selenium Behave

Question

The below picture is representative of my steps folder.

Here, when i run my feature file for "childsteps.py", i need it to execute the steps in "parentsteps.py" first then execute the steps in "childsteps.py".

How do i achieve this?, How do i Import those step definitions?

I first thought i should put the step definitions of each file in class and import that class, but I am unable to deduce how I would do this. Please assist.

In your childsteps.py:

from parentsteps import *

Then you can call your steps like that
