Sean, if you are asking what I think you are asking (I don't think name hiding is the issue), you can use
from module_name import * and you will end up with all of the functions at session scope. You can use the 'as' to alias the function names if you wish from module_name import fn1 as myfn1, fn2 as myfn2 but, um, that gets confusing. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
