Hi Mike,
The problem is I don't define the functions AddPlot() and DrawPlots().
It's built into the python interpreter of the CLI version of the
program I mentioned, and they are defined on the main script. I load
the main script using something like "software -cli -s
mainscript.py".
In the mainscript.py I import myModule, but of course myModule does
not have access to the functions defined in the global namespace of
mainscript.py.

Thanks.
