'import module' statement imports the 'module' object and binds the
name to the local namespace. Any names defined in the module will have
to referenced by module.module_object
so you need to do something like this:
import loadee
if __name__ == "__main__":
l = loadee.loadee()
Alternatively you can directly import the objects defined in a module by :
from loadee import loadee
if __name__ == "__main__":
l = loadee()
