Python treats file names as case sensitive, so you probably want

from xyz.a import B

Do you have an __init__.py in directory xyz so Python knows it is a module?

Not from that line, it doesn't. Show us the line where you try to
instantiate it. This kind of thing should work:

from xyz.a import B
bb = B()

You don't need to add the diretory name, just the module name (assuming
it's in sys.path)
import a
b = a.B()
OR
from a import B
b = B()
