Good point, Dennis. I use Apache2, and any time I modify .py files, I need to restart the Apache2 daemon. I wish I didn't have to, but the environment needs to be flushed. Luckily, it doesn't kill the sessions or anything like, say ColdFusion when it restarts. I was wondering if there was something with your environment that was using an old copy of the file without the import, because your syntax sounded perfect. Anyway, I'm glad you got it figured out!
