Almost. Try this: mydef.Fatalln() Unless you import the symbols from your mydef module into your program they have to referenced by the module name. This is a good thing and it helps keep your code separated and clean. It is possible to import individual symbols from a module like this: from mydef import Fatalln Avoid the temptation to import *all* symbols from a module into the current program's namespace. Better to type out the extra bit. Alternatively you can alias imports like this import somemodule.submodule as foo Frequently this idiom is used when working with numpy to save a bit of time, while preserving the separate namespaces. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
