I'm afraid that this error means that you *don't* have the name 'Form2' 
in your namespace when this code is called.

You need to include something like:

    from form2_module import Form2

Python will only let you use names that you have either defined or 
imported into the current namespace. Just importing the *module* that 
contains a definition doesn't give you access to all the names defined 
in the module (Python differs from the C# 'using' directive in this 
respect).
