Now I am confused - if I write:

result = foo.bar(param)

Then if foo is a class, we probably all agree that bar is
a method of foo.

But the same syntax would work if I had imported some 
module as foo.

So what's the difference ?  Why can't bar be called a method
of foo, or is it merely a convention that classes have
methods and modules have functions?

Note that I am purposely refraining from mentioning a module
that has a class that has a method.
